Testimonials

  • “Dad’s funeral was beautiful and Kerri was responsive and generous, without intruding and offering ideas and options, at every stage of the planning and the service. When our sister passed less than 4 months later, Picaluna were the obvious choice and they excelled with another beautiful funeral. If you are looking for Australian-owned, responsible and responsive funeral directors, go with Picaluna.”

    ...From the onset of our meeting, we engaged the services of Picaluna, which we are VERY grateful for their compassion, and listening to what we wanted. Communication was fantastic, the service they did for Mum, was unforgettable, not only by my family, but for all that attended Mums funeral. Everybody was moved by the service…When they came to pick Mum up ( as she lied in wake on her bed at home), they showed the upmost respect for her, from knocking on her bedroom door and even introduced themselves to Mum. I would recommend Picaluna Funerals and ALL their staff without hesitation. I’ve even told my family that I would like them to use this service, when it is my time to go. Great work, Olivia, Kathryn and Sarah… you have made our Mums send off GREAT! We as a family can not thank you enough.

  • "I cannot rate Kerri high enough. She went above and beyond to make things happen smoothly. The care, compassion and consideration Kerri puts into her work made the whole process so special. I received many compliments on how well Kerri and her team worked together to create a truly beautiful service."

  • “My biographer, Olivia skilfully helped capture the meaningful events in my life and prepared a wonderfully high-quality booklet, complete with photos. The biography is more than I had expected to be able to leave my family. I am very grateful to Sacred Heart Biography Service. I would not have been able to prepare and produce such a biography as a comfort to my family. I enjoyed the openness and gentle guidance Olivia provided during our meetings. She gave just the right amount of direction and organised the material well. It’s a remarkable service, thank you all!”

  • “Kerri from Picaluna did a wonderful job helping us to create a fitting farewell for my much-loved father-in-law. During the current health crisis and only 1 business day to organise a service on Easter Saturday she managed all the arrangements beautifully.

My highest recommendation"
