We were very satisfied with our experience at The Wilson Funeral Home. All of dad’s quirky wishes were able to be honoured because our funeral director was so open and receptive.

Gail S

A big thank you to The Wilson Funeral Home for guiding us through the process of arranging a funeral. It was an overwhelming situation and your team’s patience, and guidance cannot be underestimated. The service ran smoothly, and we feel it is one our dad would have approved and been proud of. The chapel was a warm and welcoming environment.

Lauren G

Our family wanted to thank you for all your help and support in organising our son’s funeral. You showed us and him so much kindness and care. The flowers, plaque, and everything you did for the service was perfect, we can’t thank you enough.

Eva was always polite, helpful and organised. She navigated our family dynamic well. When our mum was transferred from the rest home it was done with ease and dignity.

Petrina L

We were able to have a beautiful and seamless celebration for our mum thanks to the care, love and efficiency shown by our funeral director, Larissa. She was an absolute delight to work with.

Rodney W

Our funeral director was very patient and kind, she gave us all the information we needed to make decisions.

This has been a distressing time. I am grateful to The Wilson Funeral Home for the help and support that I received. The outstanding people that I met were committed to their work, which they did with efficiency and good humour. My (ignorant) questions were always answered with great patience.
