F.W. Barnes & Son Funeral Directors

We had our Dads funeral at FW Barnes last week and we could not have been happier with how it went. Everything was very well organised and the communication was excellent. Having someone you can trust and rely on during a stressful and emotional time is very important, and Sharnie and Tanya were excellent. We had wonderful feedback from our family and friends about what a lovely service it was, and we were so grateful to be able to give our Dad the best possible tribute he deserved. If we could give them 10 stars we would, thank you Sharnie, Tanya and all the staff at FW Barnes. From The Rigby Family.

Having just said goodbye to my Grandfather for the last time, FW Barnes and Son's, in particular Kristy and Carl was nothing short of amazing. Their attention to detail, communication with all parties involved and care given to my Grandmother throughout this process meant she should say goodbye surrounded by their loving support.Thanks for everything and making the process a smooth one.

Our family has had the most kind, careful, thoughtful and practical support from Sharnie - and Tanya has done a wonderful job creating a photo tribute to Mum. It will be treasured of course.From the family of Joyce - Thank you. June

Thank you, Simon and the team. From the start it was an easy and a reassuring process navigating organizing a funeral for family member. Everything was explained in detail and no question was silly. It also made it easier having everything in the one venue, plenty of car parking. I would highly recommend F.W Barnes & Son Funeral Directors.

Sharnie and the team were so wonderful to work with. They helped at the very last minute. Nothing was too hard and they honestly went above and beyond to give our father the beautiful send off he deserved.I can't recommend FW Barnes & Son anymore. So professional, so empathetic and caring.Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.The Wallis Family.

Organising a funeral and all it entails is one of the most stressful times in your life. Recently it was necessary to deal with FW Barnes and the staff were helpful and pleasant. The Courier notices were taken care of but on publication were incorrect on the year of birth and a number of spelling of mistakes. I know every business is short staffed these days but these mistakes are so obvious and easily prevented. Perhaps proof of what was being printed between both these parties would have made sure that the information was correct. Imagine our disappointment on the day of the funeral, upon being handed a bookmark, to see the surname of the deceased incorrectly spelt along with a family members given name not even close to being spelt correctly. Surely this information was also proofread before printed or at least checked when delivered back to the funeral home. This made our day all the more upsetting for all involved and isn’t good enough.

F.W. Barnes & Sons were extremely proffesioal and compassionate throughtout the whole process of farewelling our beloved mother. They guided us through seamlessly, nothing was too much and their attention to detail was amazing. Mums funeral was beautiful - We can't thank the team enough. Special thanks to Kristy.

F.W. Barnes and sons funeral directors are hands down the best choice for all your funeral needs. We have had the unfortunate experience of needing to say goodbye to a loved one not once, but twice this year and on both occasions F. W. Barnes have been outstanding at making a dreadful time a smooth and easy process. Even with the many extra challenges working around Covid presented. Both services had different requirements and aspects to be considered and both times it was an absolute pleasure to deal with the spectacular staff members.Their care and compassion from the very first hello to the final goodbye is above and beyond. Not a single member of staff ever make you feel like a request is too hard or a question too silly. The availability of the livestream service for those family and friends who aren't able to be present at the time of the service was such a fantastic option, it certainly made the venue restrictions less problematic. The small details that they add to the service and presentations make them flow beautifully and the family are supported every step of the way, even after the service has concluded. Their ongoing support after the event is a reassurance in the grieving process.

I don't know where to begin. Because of covid we had time restraints in which we had to return interstate because of lockdowns . Enter Kristy who was so gentle and compassionate to our needs who followed our wishes to the tee... upon just a conversation with my daughter stating how mum would have wanted a haircut she arranged for Emma to cut it. Thank you Emma you did a beautiful Job mum would have loved it.Because we didn't have a service Kristy opened up the chapel to us played our chosen songs whilst we all went and said our final goodbyes to my beloved mum Irma Wardrop I honestly can't fault anything I was kept up to date with every aspect. Finally it gave us comfort how quickly they got her from the hospital into their care because mum hated hospitals thank you all so much from the bottom of our heartsBelinda Shepley and families
