⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Exceptional, Heartfelt Service — Thank You, Stephanie and Team
Stephanie and her team at Personal Farewells created the most beautiful and deeply meaningful funeral service and burial for our 9yr old son Harry. Every detail was handled with such care, thoughtfulness, and compassion.
The yellow flowers — especially the sunflowers — were vibrant and full of life, and Harry’s superhero bear was such a tender, loving gesture that meant so much.
The photos and videos were absolutely gorgeous. Seeing Harry enjoying his favourite foods — pasta and raspberries — making the happiest little mess, brought so much warmth and joy to the room. The process of uploading and Stephanie producing this was seamless.
Stephanie’s recommendation of Jess as the celebrant was excellent. We felt so comfortable with them both in the hardest days of our life. Jess and Stephanie meticulously timed the service and made sure we got everything we wanted for our Harry.
Stephanie also helped us navigate a Saturday service at a few days notice, she was very helpful in understanding the costs from Woronora Memorial Park.
The tribute from Bates Drive School was just as special. It was clear how adored Harry was by his teachers and friends. The stories of his cheeky antics — taking off and throwing his shoes, grabbing hair and sunglasses, and of course, enjoying raspberries — brought smiles through the tears.
The story of the rainbow appearing at Bear Cottage was truly unforgettable. It felt like a sign from Harry himself — a comforting reminder that his spirit is close, loving, and forever present. Aunty Sarah’s poem, Look for Me in Rainbows, was the perfect way to end such a meaningful service.
The bubbles at the conclusion were a beautiful touch — light, joyful, and full of Harry’s spirit.
Thank you, Stephanie and the entire Personal Farewells team, for creating an exceptional, heartfelt tribute. You worked long hours to get every detail perfect for Harry..
Your compassion and care helped create a service that honoured Harry’s life in the most beautiful way. We are deeply grateful.
