Ellese
You and your team were so gentle and genuine. Mum would have been very happy with her funeral. From the genuine help at the start, the advice and unpressured way you went about helping us – very much appreciated. All aspects of the service Templeton Family Funerals provided, was brilliant. Wish you and your business every success and I recommend you to anyone who wants to feel confident that they will be looked after in their time of need. Thank you.

Templeton family funerals are absolutely amazing! The first time I spoke to Ellese before mum passed, she was just so understanding and put me at ease straight away; it was just like chatting to a really close friend. I rang my siblings and said that after a few hours on the phone researching I’ve found the right funeral directors to arrange mums celebration of life. It felt great and was such a relief to know that when the time came we were in the right hands. Mum actually passed away during that night. After a few hours on the phone to my family I rang Templeton to leave a message that mum had passed and that they could pick her up whenever suited them. Ellese answered the phone and although it was the middle of the night she still
offered sympathy and support…. this totally exceeded my expectations. Over the next few days we met Ellese’s auntie Louise who came to my house in Mount Martha for our family meeting. She was also so caring and empathetic… nothing was too much trouble. I asked her to apologise to Ellese for me for ringing in the middle of the night. I explained that I thought the call would just go to message bank till someone arrived at the office that morning. Louise said that they don’t use messages they always answer the calls, No matter what time unless all 4 of them are on the phone at the same time. That was another indicator of their amazing personal service. We are so grateful to Templeton family funerals who made this tough time so special for us and our mum would’ve absolutely loved it all. Templeton funerals is run by a beautiful family who are passionate and caring. I feel so lucky to have found them and cannot recommend them highly enough.

I have never had to arrange a funeral for anyone before, so i was a bit nervous, but Ellese put my mind at ease within the first few minutes of our conversation when I asked her about a pre-paid funeral.

When it came to the day, I thought the team at Tempelton were just wonderful. So caring, anticipating each movement of the people gathered. it was a very small gathering, but Ellese and the team ensured everything went as planned.

I left the whole arrangement in the ladies’ most capable hands, and they did not let me down once. They also worked really well with the minister who conducted the service. I really cannot thank Templeton Funerals enough for the professional and genuine personal care with which the whole service both before and after the graveside service.

All the ladies at Templeton were amazing and made a very difficult time and an extensive process planning a funeral service seamless. They were very respectful, comforting and each time when we needed something they seemed to have read my mind and had already taken care of it or were already onto it. Can’t thank them enough!

We could not have asked for nicer ladies to help us celebrate the life of our beautiful mum. Louise took my initial call late in the evening and she could not have been more supportive. Louise worked with us from that initial call right through to after the funeral and we could not be more grateful for the care, support and professionalism she portrayed. Nothing was too much trouble and she went out of her way to make sure we were okay and informed about the proceedings. I cannot thank you enough Louise for all that you have done and for care and attention to us all during this difficult time. I would certainly recommend your services to others. Thank you again xx

The Templeton family made the sad experience of the death of my mother easy. They were sincere, attentive and flexible, understood we didn’t want a traditional funeral and listened to our wishes. Their support throughout the planning was superb and their suggestions and efforts contributed to a wonderful celebration of Mum’s life. I can thoroughly recommend them.

Our beautiful mum passed on the 29th of May and Templeton Family funerals came recommended. I had never heard of the business before and I’m glad we accepted the advise. Louise was lovely, caring and experienced. The service was the perfect sendoff for my mum. The slide show of photos of my mum was my favourite part as I could sit back and reflect on my mum through all stages of her life. Father Barry Fletcher was also amazing, extremely professional and very likeable. Mum would have been happy.
