  Be very careful! I found Phillip to be very kind and accommodating during the first stages of getting my mother in law cremated (she was visiting from overseas) but given we had to take her ashes back to her home country the time frame discussed wasn't adhered to which caused massive stress for my ex and my mother in laws family. We had complications with getting money from the family overseas to cover costs and I couldn't cover all of it as had been made redundant recently. It was such a shock to lose our dearly beloved. The second Phillip didn't receive payment (which we had discussed and pre-arranged) he proceeded to send abusive messages, emails and phone calls to both myself and my ex. He then went so far as to email my ex with pop up images of the devil and said that his mother would be haunting him because he is such an evil man etc. I called him to ask what was going on and he screamed abuse at me, swearing and just out of control. There was no way I could calm him down. I have since seen him collecting a body at a rest home where my mum was staying as she was terminally ill with brain cancer, I completely froze and had horrible thoughts of what he must be like with the bodies if he can turn into such a crazy person sending the most horrific emails along with crazy abuse. The thought of him handling my Mum's body once she passed gave me nightmares. I wish I had of said something sooner but I just wanted out of my mind until I saw him again. He really at first came across as so lovely and helpful but there is a dark and yucky side to him and I caution people to see past his kind and gentle image and perhaps look to leave their loved ones in more stable hands. Responding to your response, you apologise for any distress??? Sending pictures of the devil to someone weeks after they have come home from overseas after having a funeral for their mother as any perceived distress? Screaming and swearing at firstly my ex and then myself not over 3 years, more like a few weeks after her passing. Yes the payment arrangement was not adhered to by my ex straight away but does that mean you become abusive, aggressive and send demonic emails to someone who has lost their mother while she was overseas visiting and unfortunately didn't have travel insurance. I apologise on behalf my ex for not sticking to the agreement you two had but you took it to another level. What could be inside you to get that horrific towards anyone over money. It's not sane. And I again highly recommend to anyone considering this company to act with dignity and respect handling their loved ones to think twice. I am an honest person and doing this isn't easy and it has taken me years to do it, but after losing my Mum last year and seeing that man collecting another body made me physically sick.

  Thank you to the Woolertons' for the exceptional personalised care we experienced at such a difficult time. Every detail was attended to with the greatest respect and with a calm integrity so we could really celebrate a life we lost far too soon. The care we received from Woolertons' Funeral Home continued right through to our choice of urn and resting place. I am very grateful for all the help and guidance we received at a time where I simply could not have navigated this without the Woolertons' professional support.

  I am grateful to Woolerton’s Funeral home for helping my family through a very difficult time dealing with everything around a family bereavement. I have not experienced such considerate treatment at a time when it was really needed. They went the extra distance that can only be found from a business that is owned and operated by people who are passionate and caring in everything they do. I wish I dealt with more people like them. I don’t know how I would have got through without them taking care of all the little details. I hope I don’t need them again but I wouldn’t go anywhere else if I had a need for their services again. They are a great team. Thank you Woolerton’s Funeral Home.
