We found Anne very easy to communicate with.
Her understanding and approachable manner made dealing with our arrangements very smooth. Her helpful suggestions and after giving our details, Anne was able to collate a very nice service. With Anne’s husband David
The readings, photo tribute all ran very smoothly. Highly recommend Oakdale Funerals.

Thank you so much for a beautiful service for my Oma, Anne. I am eternally grateful to you, David and the team at Oakdale for the incredible care, warmth, humility, respect and generosity you shared with us from start to end of the whole process. It is such a precious time. Thank you for all the unseen and unknown ways in which you have cared for my Oma… and all of us these past weeks.
Thank you for choosing this path. You made a hard day so meaningful and truly beautiful.

We can't thank Anne and David enough for their compassion and care in helping us honor our dear friend. We didn't want a traditional funeral and Anne thought outside the box and found us a beautiful venue in the hills that was perfect. No request we made was too hard and their calm and compassionate way made a difficult time less difficult. Everything ran so smoothly and we did not have to worry about a thing because we knew they had it all under control.
We can't recommend Oakdale Funerals enough and thank Anne and David for all they have done for us.

Our family has entrusted Anne and David with two funerals within the last 12 months, both of which were delivered with genuine warmth and respect. Anne understood our family’s wishes perfectly and helped us create two perfect ceremonies, the most recent only a few days ago. Anne is personable and easy to deal with - her suggestions for everything from the floral arrangements to the ceremony to the catering were perfect, without ever pushing any unnecessary "up-sells" onto us. Cannot recommend highly enough.

My family and I are so thankful for the compassion and support Oakdale have given us, from the very first phone call I made when Mum was in palliative care, to the beautiful service they helped us to hold. Josephine was so perceptive to our needs, even ones we didn’t know we had. Her recommendations on the florist, booklets, caskets, urns etc. were excellent and her suggestions on how to make the funeral service more personal were much appreciated. And on the day of the funeral, we felt her warmth and kindness while her superb project management skills allowed me to just focus on being fully present with my family. My family and guests commented afterwards on how well organized the funeral was, from the time we arrived in the chapel to the refreshments in the function room. The service and support from everyone I've spoken to at Oakdale have been simply outstanding and excellent value.

We thank Anne and David from Oakdale funerals for their warmth, compassion and guidance throughout the difficult time of organising our fathers funeral. Every detail was perfect and exactly what we had hoped for.

Oakdale Funerals were everything I didn’t know I needed. Anne was amazing from the very moment I called in the super early hours of the morning, distraught and distressed after loosing my father unexpectedly. She was so kind and compassionate to me and was very communicative every step of the way. She let me know when her lovely team had collected my dear dad and I felt great comfort knowing they were respectful and caring to my father and my wishes in all preparations. She sat patiently while I cried at making decisions, listened to my memories. She consoled me in the raw phases of my grief, as it was all very overwhelming. We even shared a few chuckles along the way. Anne held the service and did so well honouring my dad and his life. The Hot Rod was the absolute cherry on top for me. My father a Ford fan made his last car ride in style!
I am eternally grateful to Anne, and the team. I couldn’t have done it without them. I will never forget the kindness and compassion and genuine feeling of care they gave me and my dad. I miss my Dad everyday, Yet knowing I got to give him the best possible care and send off made all the difference. From the bottom of my heart I Thank you.

I can't begin to tell you how grateful my dad, sister, and I are for Anne and David's caring and thoughtful approach. They knew just what to do and how to guide us during the most difficult time of our lives. They were so caring and empathetic and never overstepped but guided us when we were unable to see clearly. Thank you both for the most amazing service. I'm so glad that we were "guided" to you. <3

Anne and David guided us through the whole process, they are wonderful, caring and respectful in the service they provide, I cannot recommend them highly enough

Upon the passing of my parents, we engaged Oakdale funerals. David and Ann were wonderful, compassionate, patient, caring and very respectful.
Nothing was too much trouble and we felt very confident working with them to ensure Mum and Dads wishes were carried out,
Highly recommended Oakdale Funerals.
Thank you David and Ann
