Testimonials
A special thank you to Martine whose care and support meant the world to our family.
Highly recommend.
Thank you Louise, Amanda and Katie.❤️
A special thanks to Martine, whose patience and dedication in answering every question and meeting every request made a world of difference. Your professionalism, combined with the wonderful celebrant/host, turned a difficult day into a beautiful tribute. Thank you for your warmth and for treating my loved one with such grace.
From the first conversation right through to the day of the service, they were kind, patient and very easy to deal with. During a really difficult time they helped guide us through everything and took a lot of the stress off our shoulders.
The service itself at Bunurong Memorial Park was handled beautifully and everything ran smoothly. It meant a lot to our family knowing Shannon was being looked after with such care and respect.
A big thank you to the whole Gateway team for helping us give my brother the send-off he deserved.
I have to say, I was so blown away by how kind and helpful they were. With ultimately no gain for themselves, they responded within 2 hours for transfer purposes, collated all the documentation and forwarded it on promptly to the incoming service provider.
They were easily contacted, absolutely lovely on all interactions, highly responsive and above all else: shockingly effective and efficient. They really made the first 24 hours easier for us.
It was the family’s ultimate decision to utilise existing contacts for the services that followed but I have kept this number and this service in mind for future reference. Thank you everyone - especially Judy at reception
