KIND WORDS

 

“Our father and husband passed away recently and through a friend, Soula and Rainbow Funerals was recommended to us. Right from the start Soula was so caring, kind and compassionate. We felt very much at ease with her, it was like we were talking to a dear friend. The process following the death, as he passed away interstate, was very involved and time consuming, and Soula was always there to help with making the journey as smooth and supportive as possible. Our family was very blessed to have Soula care for his final journey.”

– Di & Brooke

Hi Soula.
I am so grateful you held my mum’s service. I couldn’t have asked for a better handling of everything. It all appears like magic all thanks to you. I am forever grateful. Mum looked so beautiful too. I have no words to express my gratitude.
