Losing a loved one is always a difficult time. Dealing with grief as well as making funeral arrangements can be a stressful ordeal.
A friendly face, some gentle advice and a helping hand are sometimes all that is needed to alleviate becoming overwhelmed by the choices that have to be made.
Candlepines Undertakers of Distinction directors Phillip and Bronwyn Aspinall believe having the same person walk with you through the entire process can ease the pain of such loss.
“With years of experience in the industry, we understand because we are a family and we know that is what we would want,” Phillip says.
Their daughter, Clare, has been around funeral homes since she was a baby, so it was natural for her to join the family business.
As the funeral services co-ordinator, Clare provides support to families preparing for a service.
Candlepines offers both traditional and practical funeral services at affordable prices.
The experienced staff can organise religious and non-religious ceremonies (in non-religious ceremonies a celebrant can be provided free of charge).
Their passion and keen eye for detail ensures that everything is taken care of.

Refreshments can also be arranged for after service commemorations.
