We really appreciated the expert advice, professionalism and patience which was provided by the whole team at James Hawes and Goodchild, who ensured the time leading up to and on the day ran as smoothly as possible and according to schedule.

I really couldn’t thank Ray, Marissa, Dave and the team enough for how much they helped my family, nor could I recommend their services enough. They were incredibly professional yet understanding, and made this difficult experience so much more bearable for us throughout. We were repeatedly reassured not to worry, and to allow them to take some of our stress away around the planning of the day.

They were able to accommodate all of our wishes and paid so much attention to detail. My grandad’s favourite colour was red and the coffin bearers even offered to wear red ties/details to reflect that, just small details that really meant a lot to us. Thank you so much again.

The Testa family would like to thank Marrisa, Mark and the team, for making our final farewell to Mum, one to remember always.
The funeral was conducted with care and attention to detail. They went over and beyond and understood what we needed to do as a family on this very sad journey. They were very professional.
I would recommend their Services to anyone who needed to honour their loved ones. They are the same company that arranged Dads funeral 22years ago. It is good to see that
James Hawes & Goodchild Funeral directors are going strong and continue to dedicate their all in honouring the Client’s loved ones and providing a first class professional service. Thank you all...

The Richards family would like to thank James Hawes & Goodchile, especially Marissa whose support and guidance in arranging the funeral for my husband. Also on the day Mark and his team were very respectful and courteous. I would highly recommend using them as their help took a lot of stress out of what is a very difficult time.

Outstanding service from a very much trusted local firm. Be it my father's recent passing and my mother's twenty one years ago, the team demonstrated great understanding, support and professionalism. Very strongly recommended for absolute peace of mind, during such an emotionally challenging period.

The mullings family would like to thank the whole team. Marissa was so supportive through the process and the care for my mum was exceptional. And they allowed me to come and see my mum as many times and I need to. The support and guidance through the funeral process was carried out with so much care. And I really appreciated it at that difficult time. Thanks so much marissa for your guidance also 🙏God bless you.
