Getting to know someone before they pass is an absolute privilege, a gift that stays with you long after they’re gone. Their stories, their wisdom, their laughter, and even their quiet moments leave an imprint on your heart that never fades.

Memorial Service vs. Traditional Funeral Service

While both honour a loved one’s life, the difference lies in timing and tone.
A traditional funeral service usually takes place before burial or cremation, often with the coffin present. It’s a time for final goodbyes and reflection.

A memorial service, on the other hand, is held after the cremation or burial. It allows families more time to plan a personal and meaningful tribute often in a relaxed setting where memories and stories can be shared freely.

There’s no “right” choice only what feels right for your family. At Gentle Hand Funerals, we help guide you through each option with care and understanding.

Review for Gentle Hand Funerals – St Kevin’s Catholic Church, Dee Why
with Fr Delmar Silva, Fr Jose Alirio Gutierrez & Fr Reinaldo Vassole, vocalist Matthew Dalcin

My husband and I are deeply grateful for the exceptional support provided by Gentle Hand Funerals during one of the most difficult times of our lives the passing of my mum.

Anna Moretti demonstrated the highest standards of professionalism, empathy, and expertise. She is not only proactive and detail-oriented, but also deeply caring qualities that are invaluable in end-of-life care. Anna guided us through each stage of the arrangement process with compassion and clarity, anticipating our needs every step of the way.

Her ability to balance genuine care with cost efficiency made the entire experience both seamless and dignified. She acted as a trusted advisor, taking the time to listen to our wishes and helping us navigate the complexities of saying goodbye to Mum all without unnecessary expense.

Anna handled every detail with such sensitivity, ensuring the funeral truly reflected our family’s values and love. What began as a time of deep sadness became a sacred, respectful, and deeply personal farewell thanks to Gentle Hand Funerals and Anna Moretti.

With sincere gratitude,
Zulima & Johan

Family Review - Gentle Hand Funerals truly go above and beyond in every possible way. From the very first phone call, Anna’s compassion, warmth, and professionalism shone through. She took the time to listen, understand our wishes, and guide us gently through every step, ensuring nothing was overlooked. Her attention to detail, personal touches, and genuine care made an incredibly difficult time feel a little lighter. We never felt rushed or like just another client Anna made us feel like family, going out of her way to ensure our loved one’s farewell was meaningful, beautiful, and exactly as we hoped. I can’t recommend Gentle Hand Funerals enough for anyone seeking heartfelt, dedicated support during their time of loss.
