We just want to say how much we appreciated everything you did for us and for our dear Mum. From the time we first called you - you handled everything with care and respect for all the family.
It wasn’t an easy time for us all but nothing we asked you for was too much trouble. You ensured everything went smoothly and the service was a wonderful celebration of Ngaire’s life.
Thank you also for recommending Benney to us. She was a lovely celebrant who took the time to make the service really personal and special to us all and we will be contacting her as well to thank her.? Denise & Bryan Fitzpatrick
At birth there is often special bonds formed between the midwife and the family. Never did I think at death a special bond with a funeral director could occur. But in the case of my family and the team at Simply Cremations that is indeed how we felt.
Their expertise saved the day many times over, had it not been for their attention to detail we would have had technical problems that you can only appreciate when you have gone through an experience of this kind. They were very discreet and respectful without being intrusive and that is why we are very happy we worked with them. A big thank you Simply Cremations.? Rynae Butler
When our Mum passed away unexpectedly just after Christmas 2010, we were devastated and hopelessly lost in our grief. We didn't know where to begin, what to do or who to contact. We were effectively "strangers" in Thames and at a time that should be full of joy, people were away, businesses were closed, and many venues were unavailable or being refurbished over the Xmas break. Given the timing, it seemed an impossible task to organise a funeral
Following the advice of relatives in nearby Puriri, we contacted SC Cremations. We loved their warm & "family" approach to a service which would not be entirely "conventional". Warren & Carol were constantly on hand, offering their compassion, comfort, advice and options.
Like the proverbial miracle, everything fell into place at the right time. We cannot thank Warren & Carol enough for the wonderful and uplifting funeral our Mum had wanted.
Sadly, our Dad passed away just 14 months later and we didn't hesitate to call on Warren & Carol again. They were there at our Parent's house that evening, well "after hours", and it was like meeting up with dear friends. Once again, they delivered a professional, dignified & memorable funeral service for our Dad and all at an affordable price.
Warren and Carol - Thank you a million times. We met as strangers, and left as friends. Namaste.? Shane Pickering & Kelly Topliss
