What families say about us

Rated 5 / 5 based on 45 reviews.

Rated 5/5

A truly comforting and personal experience.

I cannot thank Louise, Rachel, Deb and the entire team at Hunters, enough for their exceptional care of our family during such a difficult time. From our very first phone call, we felt they were totally there for us and right from our first meeting, they were incredibly warm, friendly, and compassionate.

Navigating the loss of our dad had been incredibly overwhelming, but they have gently guided us through every hard decision with patience and grace and we also felt they cared for Dad so well. They truly listened to who our dad was and helped us create a service that felt deeply personal and reflective of his life.

If you are looking for a team that treats your family like their own and handles every detail with dignity, we highly recommend Hunters as they brought us immense comfort when we needed it most.

I’ve been very pleased with the service from Hunters. From the start every option has been fully explained, with our questions and wishes taken seriously and thoughtfully. The process of laying my mum to rest has been made easier by their kindness and compassion.

I would highly recommend them.

I In addition to our previous review, we would also like to thank Debs for her professionalism, kindness, patience, and the time she dedicated to helping us organise the order of service for Mum's funeral. During such a difficult time, her support and attention to detail were greatly appreciated. She made the process much easier for our family, and we are truly grateful for everything she did.
