Keri provided our family with warm support together with an effective and efficient outcome, which helped us better deal with our loss. No corporate formula, no upselling, no "this is how we do it". We are happy to recommend Keri to those looking for a better way to do things.

Compassion Beyond Expectation

Keri was amazing! I was blown away by her compassion, kindness and consideration throughout. She listened attentively and followed exactly what was asked and went out of her way to make my sister's funeral both beautiful and seamless whilst also comforting and checking on us all along the way.

Comforting, Genuine and Kind

Review Star Icon

I’m not sure I can fully express the depth of my gratitude to Keri and her team at Better Way Funerals. From the moment my beautiful mum passed away, Keri guided us with compassion, care and a level of kindness that was both comforting and genuine. I cannot recommend Better Way Funerals highly enough.
