Testimonials

Victoria
Steele and the team are absolutely amazing.
I've helped plan a few funerals. This by far was the easiest. Team was prepared. Had a straight forward process. No question was missed, and nothing forgotten. All details were double checked. Absolutely perfect.
Couldn't recommend the team enough.
Peter Sheely
Beautiful service everything we asked Meighans to do they did it with professionalism.
hello

Jenny Donoghue
Beautiful meaningful service.
Geoffrey Beston
The staff at Meighans were very professional and went out of their way to ensure our needs were met during this difficult period. I could not speak too highly of Meighans Funerals. Thank you
Patricia Woods
A million thanks to Meighans for their compassionate and professional support in the funeral and burial of my beloved brother. I entrusted him to you with the unwavering belief that he deserved the best, and Meighans care is definitely the best. First Meighans delivered my mother through her resting place journey, and now my brother. The depth of respect Meighans has in dealing with our loved ones in their passing and the families and friends left behind during the hardest part of loss gives comfort and healing. Beautiful service, hassle free organisation, beautiful booklets and flowers, distinguished and respectful service event and interment. Thank you to all the staff at Meighans.
