Feb 2026Thank you to Bronwyn , Phillip & team at Candlepines for the professional support & care shown on the recent passing of my beloved Father. Compassion & sensitivity was given with all aspects in arrangements. Any questions & inquiries we had were promptly responded to. The service on the day went smoothly , from assistance for us to set up the chapel of repose at Altona Memorial Park , the digital photo display & live streaming. We felt comforted at this time of grieving. With this support we were able to give our Dad , a beautiful send off with personal ,loving tributes. My Mother was thankful for the kindness & professional care at this sad time. Our appreciation & recommendation of Candlepines Suzanne Kelly

Jan 2026Finding the right Funeral Director was so important to our family with the passing of my father just before Christmas. From the first conversation with Bronwyn (leading up to his death), I felt completely confident that the Candlepines team were the right choice. It was very important to our family that the team we chose to care for Dad after his passing, were respectful and treated him gently and with dignity. We were absolutely delighted with all our experiences: from all the conversations asking lots of questions; to the gentlemen who collected Dad after he passed away - they treated Dad like a member of their family and the care they showed in taking him away was nothing short of signified and a beautiful experience; through to Bronwyn mentioning one of her team having a good chat with Dad while he has prepared for the service, and reminding us to bring socks to 'keep his feet warm'. Having such an amazingly patient, caring and professional team to trust at our most vulnerable time will always be appreciated from the bottom of our hearts. We would not hesitate in recommending Candlepines - a fabulous locally owned family business. I had contacted other businesses, but was extremely disappointed with their response. Candlepines were also very competitive when comparing services and prices - when I asked one large 'franchise' business why their costs were so high (almost double Candlepines), they said it was just their standard pricing. I am so pleased we made the right ch

Dec 2025We recently used the services of Candlepines for my father's funeral. The services provided by Bronwyn and the team went far beyond our expectations, we would highly recommend Candlepines for their professionalism, respect, promptness and expertise. Additonally, Candlepines is a local family owned service, the funeral service was tailored to our family's requests, a high quality service was provided, yet the costs associated were surprisingly affordable, a factor which is apparently unique to smaller boutique funeral services. If you live in the Western suburbs of Melbourne, I would highly recommend you consider Candlepines as an option for what can be a difficult time for your family to navigate.

Jan 2026Bronwyn and Phillip went out of their way to help us in a time of need, when other funeral directors insisted we had to wait multiple weeks. Through it all they showed love and compassion and looked after the coordination of all aspects of the funeral arrangements, which took the weight off our shoulders during a time that was very difficult for us. Candlepine is small family business that treats you like family. We can't thank you enough.
