We reside in Queensland and my late mother lived her entire life in the western suburbs in Victoria. We were very fortunate to have met Bronwyn and Phillip at Candlepines and commend their professionalism, efficiency and empathy in relation to my late Mother’s arrangements during perhaps the most difficult period of the calendar year between Christmas and New Year.The high degree of compassion, care and diligence shown by Bronwyn and Phillip would never be found in any large national Funeral Director which is one of the primary reasons as to why we selected Candlepines for their genuine and personal service provided to our family, even more important as we reside interstate.A death of a loved one represents a difficult time in any family which can either bring out the best or worse in some families. Both Bronwyn and Phillip were intuitive in this regard and quite adept at handling any situation and were particularly skillful at managing a highly irrational, emotional and obstinate individual family member who created additional unnecessary pain and anguish.On behalf of my family, I am grateful for Bronwyn and Phillip’s support and responsiveness during this difficult time and Candlepines is well known to a number of local catholic parishes in the surrounding area and they are also highly recommended by a number of local Parish priests and I now fully understand and appreciate the reason why.
