What our clients Are Saying…
“I cannot speak highly enough of our experience with Rite of Passage Funerals. We wanted a special and unique ceremony to farewell my son; one which reflected his interests and passions during his short lifetime, and one in which his family and friends could fully participate.
They listened carefully to all our somewhat unconventional ideas, was completely on board, and created just the atmosphere we hoped for. They acted with compassion and respect at all times, and I cannot thank them enough for easing our way through this most difficult time.”
— Anne H.
“Having never been through this before it was so comforting to just be able to make one call and know that Mum would be looked after and her celebration of life would be just as beautiful as we could hope for.
Thank your for guiding us through this difficult time, for your professionalism executing and organising everything — from taking care of Mum and preparing her for cremation; to her celebration of life — the styling, flowers, catering, venue and everything needed to make the service just perfect.
At a time when all you really want is the space to grieve and quietly reflect, knowing every last detail was taken care of by you was such a blessing. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.”
— Eva C,
We had such a wonderful experience using Rite of Passage Funerals. Our mum passed away and it was heartbreaking. They handled the necessary funeral arrangements, gently, kindly, compassionately and yet efficiently. I really felt they listened to what we wanted. This was affirmed on the day of the memorial service, where I spotted additional special items and details. It enhanced the farewell ceremony.
I felt that our family received closure and a sense of peace from the ceremony… It was everything we could have wished for under the circumstances.”
