Professional service, everything was handled without any problems.
Showed compassion and care to family.
Every aspect was covered without issue.
Our funeral director, Richard, was very informative and guided us through the process every step of the way. The location was convenient for us and the reception facility more than catered for our needs on the day. The actual funeral was run seamlessly by Gerry and his team.
We found the staff were very helpful and nothing asked of them was too much.
They treated us like we were family, which made this process much easier than we thought it would be.
There’s no need to rush. While most families in the Hills District choose to hold a funeral within a week of their loved one’s passing, there’s no fixed timeline. Timing can vary depending on cultural traditions, family members travelling from interstate or overseas, or simply needing more time before saying goodbye. No matter when you choose to hold the service, your loved one will be cared for with dignity and respect by our Castle Hill and Rouse Hill teams.
Allan Drew Funerals supports families throughout Sydney’s Hills District, including Castle Hill, Rouse Hill, Glenhaven, Cherrybrook, West Pennant Hills, Baulkham Hills, Bella Vista, Kellyville, North Rocks, The Ponds, Schofields, Riverstone and Annangrove.
