We couldn't have been more grateful for the wonderful service we received from Jackson Michelle & team at Hepners. The kindness compassion proffesionalism was just outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble & they made everything so easy for us. We are extremely thankful for everything you did for us. From the organisation of the beautiful memorial service we had right thru to the catering. We would highly recommend Jonathan Hepners Funeral Service

After seeing the magnificient way Jonathan Hepner Funerals conducted the service farewelling my brother, it was an easy decision for my partner and I to make contact with JHF for our forward planning arrangements. We felt very comfortable speaking with JHF Consultant to document our wishes. My partner passed away on 24/2/2021. Without hesitation I would say that I would not have got through this past two weeks without the incredible help, support and care afforded to me by JHF Staff. Nothing was too much trouble in the organisation of the service which I needed to be a celebration of my beautiful partner's life. I have had amazing feedback from family and friends as to how special the service felt and how it was a wonderful farewell for my partner. The service was delivered brilliantly and in a very professional manner by the Celebrant, Tony Bugden. My sincerest thanks to all.
