My family and I are so thankful for the compassion and support Oakdale have given us, from the very first phone call I made when Mum was in palliative care, to the beautiful service they helped us to hold. Josephine was so perceptive to our needs, even ones we didn’t know we had. Her recommendations on the florist, booklets, caskets, urns etc. were excellent and her suggestions on how to make the funeral service more personal were much appreciated. And on the day of the funeral, we felt her warmth and kindness while her superb project management skills allowed me to just focus on being fully present with my family. My family and guests commented afterwards on how well organized the funeral was, from the time we arrived in the chapel to the refreshments in the function room. The service and support from everyone I've spoken to at Oakdale have been simply outstanding and excellent value.
