The professionalism of Guardian Funerals specifically Kalissa.
Kalissa was a tremendous support in organising Dad’s memorial service at Pine Grove. Her precision, gentle follow-ups and reminders, attention to detail, and depth of knowledge were invaluable throughout the short timeframe we had. She was exceptional every step of the way. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
The Service that I received from Guardian Funerals was Second to None.
