What families say about us
Rated 5 / 5 based on 31 reviews.
Rated 5/5
Both Elaine and Mauricio from T H Sanders & Sons, and Ashton Maxwell, provided every assistance to make my son's funeral at Mortlake Crematorium a truly special occasion. From finding the appropriate celebrant, Becky Lee, to suitably managing the 300 guests attending, the service went exceptionally well. Everyone attending stated at the wake that the service had been the such a lovely ceremony.
I would certainly recommend T H Saunders and Ashton Maxwell.

At the worst time in my life , Elaine and all staff at TH Sanders and Sons provided a most respectful and supportive service from the time of death to the cremation.

From the first contact our Funeral Arranger, Elaine, was very kind, helpful and proactive, she provided advice and guidance and she made all necessary detailed arrangements based only on an outline from me of what I would like to happen. On the day everything went very well and all in accordance with Elaine’s planning.
