Candlepines were recommended to us by a family member. From our initial meeting with Phillip and Bronwyn, we felt supported. They helped us plan a tailor-made funeral for our late mother with compassion, integrity and professionalism. We highly recommend Candlepines.

Bronwyn and the team were timely, professional and respectful in difficult times when elderly family members have passed away at home. Helped to navigate death administration roadblocks. Candlepines made a very difficult time as smooth as it can be from moving deceased persons from the home in a respectul manner to cremation to receipt of the death certificate. All at a reasonable cost

Thank you once again Bronwyn and Phillip for helping Olga and all our family through a very difficult time following the loss of her much loved dad.

Bronwyn, Phillip and the staff at Candlepines handled my mother in-law's funeral last year and were fabulous, so didn't hesitate in using them for my father in-law two weeks ago. Again they were absolutely wonderful with the care they gave us. It was family awkward and they helped immensely, right down to the sourcing of Father Michael for the graveside burial. He was amazing.

I recently lost my mother and was so overwhelmed looking at funereal directors, I came across Candlepines and they just felt right. I met with Bronwyn who was absolutely lovely and so supportive helping me organise everything. She was so helpful with any questions I had and when it came to the service, the service was amazing. I have been to funerals in the past but candlepines really made us feel comforted and they treated us like family. I thank Bronwyn and the candlepines team for all of thier help and support. I would highly recommend candlepines to anyone finding themselves in the situation of needing to organise a funeral for thier loved ones.

Sadly, we had to organize a funeral for our mother who passed away in November. Unlike birthday parties which happen yearly, it is the one event that you don't get to rehearse. The entire process would have been quite overwhelming if it wasn't for Bronwyn at Candlepines. She made the entire process seem effortless, as well as organizing everything for us to ensure my mother had a lovely service. We highly recommend Bronwyn & Phillip!

We recently had a loss of our daughter, and we are very grateful to Bronwyn and the other staff at Candlepines Funerals, for their services. Our daughter was stillborn and it was a difficult time, Bronwyn and team managed everything for us from the collection of our little girl to the subsequent tasks. Our little girl will always remain in our hearts, and I'll recommend Bronwyn services to everyone that might be looking for a gentle touch in these difficult conditions.

After mum passed away we weren’t sure who to use or what happened next - death admin - people called it ! It was a very difficult time but once we found Candlepines funeral services we felt relieved as they were so helpful and very professional. Mum had a very simple quick burial and with Bronwyn’s help she was laid to rest with ease and comfort for all concerned, and the flowers were just beautiful. Thank-you Bronwyn and Candlepines funeral services.

We contacted Candlepines to arrange for a pre paid funeral both Phillip and Bronwyn we very helpful in advising us of all packages and options and costs that were available. Arranging the funeral in advance was an excellent option for us. When it was time for the funeral arrangements we had a meeting with Bronwyn she was so kind considerate and sympathetic. Bronwyn arranged for the memorial cards the flowers and pointed us in the right direction to arrange the photo gallery and music that we had chosen. It was a beautiful service and everything we had asked for was provided on the day.I would highly recommend Candlepines for a funeral service their professional approach and attention to detail was outstanding.I cannot thank Bronwyn enough for the sympathy and kindness she showed to me in all my dealings with her and the help she has offered me weeks after the funeralIrena Stefankowski

We highly recommend Bronwyn of Candlepines Funeral Services. Bronwyn sympathetically guided us through the entire funeral arrangements at a time of high anxiety for our family, without fuss. Bronwyn always followed through on what she said she would do and she went the extra mile to arrange a viewing with little notice.

Nothing was too much trouble and Bronwyn answered our messages at any time of the day or night which meant we were always abreast of all developments.

Bronwyn’s reassuring manner was a blessing to our mother and we sincerely thank Bronwyn for her empathy.

I can not thank Bronwyn and team at Candlepines enough for leading us through a very difficult time, We live in the U.K and my relatives have no other family in Australia it was left to Bronwyn to organise everything for us which she did with compassion, patience, knowledge, nothing and I mean NOTHING was to much trouble, I wouldnt have got through it all without her, this is the second time she has done this wonderful service for us, first Jean and now her husband she managed to get the same vicar to take the service for both of our relatives so he knew them both and that was comforting. I would recommend Candlepines to anyone wanting their loved ones cared for by a lovely caring and professional team.

17:49 16 Jul 22

Extremely grateful for Bronwyn helped at a very sad time. My younger brother passed away unexpectedly. I contacted a couple of places to get help to pay for the cremation. To my horror they wanted you to jump through hoops, to be able to receive help. Candlepines was very reasonable, and professional. I didn't have all the trimmings,which lower the cost. Thank you kindly Bronwyn for your kindest.

Bronwyn, Phillip and their son James are absolutely wonderful caring people and are perfectionists at their jobs. If you ever need funeral directors who care more about your passed loved one than money Candlepines is definitely the place to pick. All I wanted for my dear mum was for her to have the best send off and I couldn't of done it without Bronwyn and her team. I even made drastic changes last minute but nothing was impossible for them to change because their goal is for you to achieve everything you want for your loved ones funeral.

In Dec 2021 my wife and I suffered the loss of our first child through miscarriage and as you can imagine it was a really difficult time. Bronwyn from Candlepines looked after us perfectly, in the most considerate manner possible. We were really quite lost, and she kindly explained options, kept it simple, and kept us informed. It's hard to imagine that our beautiful little baby could have been treated better. Thank you Bronwyn and team, we are truly grateful.

"Remembering With Love" is an apt phrase for this for this small family owned Australian business. From first contact with Bronwyn, I was impressed by her professionalism, knowledge, patience and sincerity. Our family were provided with options, information and current Co-Vid 19 restrictions. We appreciated the live streaming of the funeral enabling a wider audience to reflect on the life of my step-mother. Funerals are difficult at any time however nothing was too much trouble for Candlepines during the pandemic. All the little details were taken care of such as showing attendees to their seats, delivering and regifting of the flowers to the local church, and following up with me beyond the service. My gratitude to Candlepines - highly recommended.

Bronwyn and Phillip are lovely people and so accommodating to our needs. They are very helpful with every aspect of arranging a funeral. We have used Candlepines twice now and can highly recommend their services for all your necessary requirements. And their prices are very reasonable. You get a more personal service with Bronwyn and Phillip than we other more well-known Funeral Directors. Please do not hesitate to use Candlepines, you will not be disappointed.

Candlepines put on a lovely funeral for my mother. Their services were excellent, compassionate and affordable. My family felt in safe hands and felt respected and cared for during what was a difficult time for us. Just being able to talk to someone on a human-to-human level is really important, and the staff at Candlepines were like that. I felt very comfortable in dealing with them. I highly recommend their services.

On behalf of my family we farewelled our dear mum, in March 2021 using the services of Candlepines Funeral Directors. We found Bronwyn and the team to be compassionate and respectful throughout the process. It’s such a difficult time and with Covid and the rules changing all the time, Bronwyn kept us well informed at all times. We would like to thank them for their professionalism and assistance in coordinating everything on our behalf and would highly recommend their services.Kind regards Suzanne

On behalf of my mum Gloria and brother Andrew, I would like to thank you Bronwyn & Phillip for looking after my dad from when he passed right through to the service. Your whole team made a difficult time so much easier to get through. COVID definitely made a difficult time even more difficult but you were able to accommodate all our wishes, your compassion and professionalism was second to none and for that we are very grateful.

Thank you very much for the well organise arrangements done for my dad funeral at the chapel. My family members in Singapore told me the mass was simple but very beautiful service with the perfect music selected especially the 1st and 3rd was very touching and emotional. We also felt that during the mass. Thanking Bronwyn and Philip for their personal touch.

We totally recommend Candlepines to take care of all your funeral requirements during such a difficult time. We did not have to worry about anything after arrangements had been made after the passing of our Mother, in May this year. We found Bronwyn and Phillip to be caring, sensative, compassionate and totally professional in their dealings at this time. We also loved the fact that Candlepines is a local businesses with conections in our community, which made the experience more personal.

Bronwyn and Phillip are simply wonderful from beginning to end and beyond the funeral in support of the grieving family. Dad and I can’t thank you both enough. Mum’s passing was sudden and that lovely voice on the end of my first phone call made it all so easier to deal with the details. Thank you Candlepines xo
