Highly recommended. Ian was compassionate, showed great patience and didn't overcharge with unnecessary extras. His valuable advice and experience really showed. It made a difficult time much easier for all.

These folk handled my funeral with the utmost professionalism and dignity. The director, David White, was careful and appropriate at all times; taking into account that I had never arranged this sort of thing before. He was supportive and congenial at every step. We were able to give my partner a send-off that I’m sure he would have been very pleased about.

We highly recommend your company for the professional yet caring way my father's funeral was handled. Vanessa and her team was helpful , supportive and "on call" all the time. She has the patience of a saint as she explained and guided our family through the process. You don't realise how hard it is to make a decision as a family and we had to make several changes in the process. Her familiarity with Filipino traditions helped a great deal as she knew what our expectations were. Thank you so much from the Cosio family!

My family and I would like to thank Peter Hoy and the team at Ian J Arthur & Sons for all their care and support. My grandmother’s funeral arrangements were done with such empathy, care and respect surpassing all our expectations, allowing us to mourn without any concerns and worries.Thank you Peter for your kindness, patience and for going the extra mile to ensure my grandmother received a dignified farewell. You blew us away with the Chilean classical guitar music you played at the cemetery, such beautiful gesture.God bless the beautiful work you do.Solange Cruz & family

As a family business, Ian J. Arthur & Sons took the time to understand what was important to us to make sure they made our wishes were met. Our funeral director Peter Hoy was not only professional, but very respectful in all matters related to religious traditions, family dynamics, dealing with the different people and organisations involved. He also helped advise on bringing in a singer to the funeral and the result was much more than we had hoped. Thanks Peter for making this event so fitting for the memory of our mother.

Ian was very kind and patient and nothing was too much trouble. He took any stress out of what is inherently a stressful situation. Everything happened as expected and when. I thoroughly recommend his services

Ian and the team came recommended by a number of friends of ours. Throughout the entire process of planning the funeral, Ian was timely, compassionate, professional, and personable. He made every accommodation to ensure the service and other arrangements were exactly what we wanted. He answered questions, took phone calls, visited our family, and went above and beyond in so many ways. David conducted the funeral service and did a wonderful job – we couldn’t have asked for a better conductor. Thank you so much to Ian, David, and the team for all your support throughout what was a very difficult time.

We had experienced a tragic death in our family and it was our first time ever having to organize a repatriation back home to New Zealand. At first due to the overwhelming emotions we carried because of the nature of the death, we felt a sense of distress and weren't prepared to deal with the funeral/repatriation processes. However, Mark from Ian J Arthur and Sons was a blessing to us. He was open, consistent and transparent in his communication with us, was able to deal with communication needs within Australia and New Zealand. He also gave us the reassurance we needed in order to reduce the impacts of stress on our well being. From the beginning to the end, Ian J. Arthur and Sons was amazing and I am grateful that we repatriated our brother through them. I highly recommend them to anyone in need of a stressful free funeral. From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for the service you provided and also the support too. Thank you Mark for your amazing work. I've already told my family when it's my time, contact Mark he'll get me home one day. Haha. Thank you, Linda-Lee Sila

A funeral is a time where you prefer not to have to deal with issues on the day. David and the team were exceptional from the get go. I rang a couple of places while others were happy to quote over the phone and provide an estimate David took the time to send me an itemized quote. That attention to detail gave me the confidence that all would be fine on the day. Additionally, every question, every request was dealt with promptly no follow up was ever needed. Its those little things that they did well. Highly recommended.

I was fortunate enough to be referred to Ian by a friend in the funeral industry when my mum suddenly and unexpectedly passed away.Five stars is really not adequate to describe the service that Ian and his team out together. He was very easy to contact throughout the whole process and kept us informed every step of the way. I would absolutely recommend Ian.

Thank you to Ian J. Arthur & Sons funeral directors especially Peter Hoy who went to extreme lengths to make sure my mum's funeral was perfect.I HIGHLY RECOMEND THIS COMPANY!!No words will ever be enough for how grateful my family and I are. It was our first funeral that we had to plan and we were really scared to put our trust in somebody knowing we wanted the perfect farewell. Nothing was ever too complicated and Peter was very professional and caring. We spoke to a few funeral places beforehand but knew as soon as we met Peter, we were in the right hands.He just amazed us more and more each time we met up and went out of his way to make sure we were happy.Thank you for making one of the hardest times in my life just that little bit easier.

I just wanted to thank you for all your help over the last few weeks. You made everything much easier for our whole family and guided us through a difficult time. You provided a service that felt personal and genuinely caring. In addition your pricing was very good compared to other companies and you provided extras that we were not expecting. I will definitely recommend you to other people. Thank you for everything.

Arranging your Funeral in Advance
