Nick Tim and Michelle
Beautiful people to deal with.
Ran a very professional operation showing extreme care and friendship. Competitively priced and offered many options. The result was better than I could have imagined and our guests commented accordingly.
From the outset we felt comfortable and listened to.
Michele was wonderful with her support and recommendations plus the seamless manner the service was put together. The feedback from everyone who attended the service was extremely positive.
A funeral usually takes place within days or weeks of a death and often includes a burial or cremation as part of the service. A memorial service is held after burial or cremation has occurred and may take place weeks or months later. Both provide meaningful opportunities to gather, reflect and honour a life.
