Would like to thank Tanya for making this process go smoothly and for her compassion and empathy during this time. I had no idea what to do but Tanya walked us through the process and I never felt pressured or rushed with decisions. There were no hidden costs and the price was very reasonable. I highly recommend Simplicity Funerals Launceston for their professional and empathetic care during such a difficult time.
