I can’t thank Ian enough for the kindness, compassion, and support during such a heartbreaking time for our family. You made the whole process of organising my brother’s funeral feel less overwhelming, and we’re so grateful for your care and attention to detail especially with respect to our traditional customs and inclusivity with the process of funeral planning. Truly appreciated and would recommend to others and families.

Having never organised a funeral before I called Ian J Arthur & Sons, after doing a Google search and seeing all the positive reviews. I spoke with Ian and he put me at ease right away. Ian is warm, compassionate and so helpful that I knew we were in the right hands. Ian then recommended Peter to be our celebrant who was wonderful. Ian & Peter’s kindness and professionalism and attention to detail made a difficult day so much easier for us. Peter, the service was beautiful and we truly appreciated the care and support you both provided.I would highly recommend Ian & Peter. Thanks again, Jacqui

On behalf of my sisters and the rest of my family, I would like to thank Ian J Arthur Funerals for the respectful way our sister’s recent funeral was managed. Particularly, we thank Peter Hoy for his consummate professionalism, consistent thoughtfulness and attention-to-detail throughout the whole process. Peter advised us of all that was required prior to the service, and reminded us when each step needed to be completed.Along with his colleagues, Peter ran the funeral service with consideration, kindness and respect. The service progressed well, as evidenced by the number of positive responses we received from many of those who attended on the day, or watched the service online at the time or later – another benefit for which we are very grateful.Thank you very much, Peter and his colleagues, at Ian J Arthur Funerals.

I highly recommend Ian J. Arthur & Sons. Ian assisted us in September 2022. After the sudden loss of my Dad, we didn't know where to begin with the funeral planning process. It was a daunting process for us. However, I knew my family and I had made the right choice to call Ian. This was made clear to us during the first phone conversation. Ian visited our family home that very same morning to help plan my Dad's funeral.Ian is empathetic and has great attention to detail. He guided us every step of the way.Peter Hoy was the celebrant at my Dad's funeral. He met with us beforehand and guided us through the order of service.Ian and Peter are both caring, respectful, and understanding. I can not thank them enough for their help during this difficult time.I would not hesitate to recommend Ian J. Arthur & Sons.

We went with Ian J Arthur & Sons back in October 2021 when my father passed away and couldn’t have been happier with our decision. They made what is a really tough time for the family a very straightforward process, which is exactly what you need. They are very transparent about their prices and provided great advice. We went back to them to organise my brother’s funeral less than two years later and it was just as seamless. Thank you so much David for your help over the years.

The staff at Ian J. Arthur’s were very helpful and supportive to my sister and I when our elderly mum passed away recently. David listened to us and suggested ways to order the service so that it was what we wanted. He assisted us in every way possible and was readily available to answer all our questions.We made the decision early this year to pay ahead, this meant that most of the emotional decisions & preparations were already done for us. It was a positive experience which then gave us more time to grieve in a relaxed way.They are an Australian, independent company and, as well, kept our funeral costs to under five-figures. We highly recommend them.

Having been completely in the dark about having to organise a funeral, Peter was an absolute guiding light throughout the whole process. It’s hard enough to have a heartbreaking incident happen in the family, so to have the experience and guidance of Peter in our time of grief was very much appreciated. I appreciated his honesty and transparency throughout the entire process as well as his learned suggestions and advice. Thank you for your help in our time of utmost need.

Glen Redden

10:39 24 Aug 22

It's been almost 10 months since we laid our beloved Mother [Late Yvonne Redden] to Rest [May Mum's Soul Rest in Peace] without the help of Peter Hoy and his team this would have been extremely difficult and even more challenging, from organising the entire funeral, helping us the family make selections etc., conducting the service with the help of [Fr Zvonimir - St John the 23rd] and Peter's coordinating every step of the journey we would have been lost, Peter's professional mannerism, empathy, compassion and care is outstanding and definitely has a sincere message of care during a difficult time. Well done Peter to you and your team for the outstanding service provided to the Redden family in a time of distress, need and a dear loss. Thank you.

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.

Toni Ramos

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!

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 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.

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.
