Joseph Medcalf Funerals - Eastern Suburbs

An incredibly considered, respectful service and genuine experience. The Joseph Medcalf team were all responsive, open minded and attentive during an unexpected and sudden loss.We truly appreciated their patience, suggestions, and understanding. Especially noting our requests were more spiritual and unconventional.A deep thanks to Michelle and Andrew, for allowing us as much flexibility as humanly possible, personalised engagement, access and time of their facilities.The outcome was soulful and memorable for the ease, warmth and understanding given to us.Thank you.

My family and I have been blown away by the team at Joseph Medcalf. They came highly recommended, and I can see why - they were professional, appropriate, kind, understanding and never rushed us to make any decisions before we were ready. Cody made great recommendations as to a location for the funeral, and Vanessa went above and beyond with her suggestions for the service - sourcing a Polish priest which meant a lot to the family, organising very specific flower arrangements and ensuring there was a live stream for us to share with those overseas. A wonderful experience during a difficult time.

I would like to bring to your attention the fantastic service provided to me and my family by Peter KONDILIOS for the funeral of my mother, Jeanine, on Thursday 1 June 2023.I know Peter through the South Maroubra Surf Club and already had a great impression of him as a caring person and good bloke so I knew we would be in safe hands with him organising the funeral.He made the entire process effortless and gave great advice. He carried out my instructions to the letter and the funeral went off without a hitch. The service exceeded my expectations at a very trying time in our lives.I was approached by many attendees who stated that it was the 'best' funeral that they had ever attended. This is down to Peter. He recommended and arranged the excellent MC, Paul YOUNG, who conducted the service, put together the excellent photo tribute and memorial card amongst many other things making the day one my mother would have been extremely happy with.Peter is a credit to your organisation and I will definitely be recommending him as a funeral director to any person I know that is in the unfortunate circumstance of having to organise a funeral. He was not like other funeral directors I had been to that reminded me of car salesman trying to add on extras that I didn't want or need.

A sincere and heart felt “Thank You” to the team at Joseph Medcalf for their kindness and understanding following the passing of my Nana. Although this process was emotionally challenging for many reasons I appreciated the listening ears and professional conversations as a simple and beautiful funeral was organised for our cheeky 96yo! Highly recommend Joseph Medcalf! Kylee Gelkov Moss

As a family we can't speak highly enough of the way we have been taken care of during this difficult time by the staff at Joseph Medcalf Funeral Services. Michelle was a godsend with her caring and compassionate approach, navigating the planning of the service, the flowers , booklets and memorial cards . Always willing to listen to our ideas and she came through on all of them . She helped to make a very sad day into a beautiful celebration of my father in laws life. Michelle went beyond what we would expect in customer service.

Michelle was amazing showing my family such compassion and care each and every step of the way. She was highly professional and thorough. It was the most beautiful service for my Mother. Joseph Medcalf Funerals made a difficult time in my life much easier and I highly recommend them.

Michelle Fisher and the team at Joseph Medcalf made a very trying time for our family less so. Michelle and the team were very professional and at the same time very personable. Thank you for making Mums farewell a lovely occasion.

Michelle and the team at Joseph Medcalf were so professional and compassionate in helping us plan our father’s funeral. They took all the stress away from us as much as possible and were so reliable. Everything planned was executed beautifully and there was lovely follow up, particularly from Michelle who made such a kind connection with our mother. I would recommend Joseph Medcalf above all others

Andrew, Daniel, Vanessa and Michelle are exceptional at what they do. Incredibly patient, compassionate, respectful and professional at every step and made the job of organising a funeral stress-free. No job was too hard and the team went above and beyond.
