Cannot thank Ellese and the staff at Templeton Family Funerals enough for their care and support. They were recommended... to us and from the moment we met with Ellese it was clear we were in the right place and that the funeral service would be as we wanted it to be and would be executed with empathy and care as well as taste and style. At a time when decision making is difficult the whole process was sensitive, sympathetic and understanding. We needed our Mum to be in the best of hands and indeed she was.

Hayley was personable, professional and compassionate. From our first phone conversation Hayley was helpful and a calm... presence, sending through a quote and questions for my brother and I to think about for when we all sat down together to plan my Mum's funeral. As our funeral director Hayley made the process effortless and even pleasurable. My requests for my Mum's presentation and my private viewing were met without question.Templeton delivered a beautiful funeral including the casket, flowers, as well as, Hayley's presentation and treatment of our guests, and the way she was so respectful towards my Mum. The service also went off without a glitch, with the music selected and video of photos played on cue. One of my aunts made the comment that my Mum would have been so proud of the service. Our heartfelt thanks to Hayley and the Templeton family for an outstanding effort.read more

From the first meeting with Hayley, I knew this was to be the funeral director we would use for my mother in law.... Having worked in the funeral industry for many years, I knew what to expect from staff at a funeral home. Templeton Family Funerals far exceeded my expectations. Flexible, professional, affordable are words I would use to describe this funeral home. On the day of the service my niece expressed to me that she had heartfelt support when attending the viewing. Well done to all the staff for providing an execeptional service. I would not hesitate in recommending Templeton Family Funerals to my friends and familyread more

My family and I would like to thank Rachel, Russel, Ellese, Sheree and the whole team at Templeton for their help,... support and professional service they provided us for the funeral services for both our parents. At such a difficult time they provided us with the support to organise both services exactly as we wanted with so much care and consideration. From the moment we contacted them we were provided with all the relevant information. For both our parents the efficient assistance by Rachel and Russell was impeccable, they travelled to our home which was quite a distance from Templeton's head office and were thorough in organising all we needed and provided understanding and comfort through the whole process and emotional time. I could not recommend higher, a more accomplished and professional, caring company to look after your loved ones especially at the most difficult and emotional time, thank you, Gavin, Duncan, Vanessa and familiesread more

I also want to express my sincere thanks to your company and the sincere and sensitive approach to the boys and I with... every aspect of the arrangements. Not knowing any funeral directors and 'googling' local companies, Lynne was my first contact with Templeton Family Funerals; she just happened to answer the phone that afternoon. From our first conversation, it was clear in her choice of words, her sincerity, sensitivity and sympathy for our loss, I knew we had found someone I could truly feel comfortable with and confident in. Lynne was absolutely sensational and nothing was ever a problem despite my random changes in decisions!My sons and I were so pleased in every aspect of the arrangements.

So important when that was our final vision and lasting memory of seeing him.Thank you to Ellesse, Sheree, Lynne and all the staff at Templeton Family Funerals.read more

Templetons' made a difficult process very easy. From the initial call late on a Friday night, to the final follow up... call to ask if there was anything else they could help with, Templetons' provided excellent service. Rachel was wonderful in stepping me through all that was needed to result in a lovely church service, and an interment at considerable distance. She made suggestions along the way, all thoughtful and considered. On the day, Rachel and her assistants were also excellent, accompanying us throughout the day, stepping in when needed, while maintaining a discreet presence. I highly recommend their team. Nothing was too much trouble.read more
