We had researched professional photographers in the local area for Mums funeral service at the Fawkner cemetery in Melbourne Victoria. The ones that did get back to me were looking at charging me around $1500 for the service, and then I remembered that mum had said she had been to the funeral of one of her dearest friends in Sydney last year and that there had been a photographer there that the family had recommended. She told us that this photographer specialised in funerals and was very knowledgeable about the entire process as he had been in the funeral industry himself. I contacted our friends and they recommended Craig from Funeral Photographer.
I was concerned that the price would be outside our range as he had to come from Sydney to Melbourne to help out with mums service, but to my surprise the price Craig quoted was slightly less than the local photographers, and that included his travelling costs to and from as well as the photography, editing and sending us the images when they were ready.
I decided then and there that Mum deserved nothing less than the best and someone that was very familiar with the whole process so I engaged Craig.
I am so glad I did. On the day Craig turned up early, spoke with me and then went about his business and to be honest I don't recall even seeing him in the way at any stage. After the service concluded at the graveside, Craig came by, said his goodbyes and about 10 days later we received a package in the mail that contained a disc with the images of mums service, as well as a movie made out of the images that had some music to it. I was extremely impressed with the photos, they were amazing and they have provided my family both here and overseas a fantastic memory of the day. I have no regrets with the decision to bring Craig in for the day and Ii thoroughly recommend his services to anyone who wants an amazing permanent memory of the day
