I just wanted to send you a thank you on behalf of my entire family for organising Mum’s funeral. It was a beautiful service and Olsen’s team yesterday were fantastic. Everyone who attended commented on how amazing they were. Paul looked after us perfectly, it was extremely professional but had a real and personal touch. I would highly recommend you to others in the future. I know Mum would have been happy with her send-off.

Dear Olsens,
I am writing to express our appreciation for the manner in which all your staff assisted us with the recent funeral for our mother.
Without exception – from the initial contact by Melinda on the night of our Mother’s passing away, to our meeting at your offices with Narelle the following day, for the courtesy call over the weekend from David, and the assistance provided by both Matthew and Nick on the day – everyone showed us absolute compassion and care, and we could not have been more appreciative…
…Thank you Olsens Team – once again you have excelled. It is very comforting dealing with you all, knowing you are there to lighten the load. It was just as we experienced for our Brother’s funeral in 2013 – the reason why our Mum decided to prepay her funeral as an exact copy as she was so very pleased with his funeral back then.
I am very sure that if she was looking down on us yesterday she would have been well pleased with her farewell.

Organising a funeral is a busy and stressful time and we would like to acknowledge the assistance and support provided by the Olsens group. Communications were both efficient and compassionate which made the whole process run smoothly and therefore kept our stress levels at a minimum…
…Please pass on our thanks to all of your staff that were involved.

Just a big note on the Team of amazing crew you have on board.
Allison Kenny rang me the next day to arrange a meeting with her that day. She showed wonderful professional grace and patience with me, thank you Allison.
Allison also highly recommended Adam Straney as an amazingly gifted celebrant. And Adam brought it all the way home to make the day beautiful and with ease. Thank you Adam.
On Monday the 16th of September I met Stuart by chance at the Sutherland Olsens Chapel and Stuart was completely caring with my sister and I every time the waterworks would start.
Mitchel was wonderful in changing pictures around for the TV presentation and nothing was a problem or stress for them and they were only too eager to accommodate for our needs to be met with absolute professionalism and grace.
