Report
I would like to thank Mackay Funerals for their assistances and professional way they handled my wife's recent passing. From the moment we contacted Kathleen and her team at Mackay Funerals nothing was difficult to deal with at this difficult time in our life's. All the arrangements and the one-on-one meetings to discuss what needed to be done including all the documents for every part of the funeral was handled with the utmost respect and professionalism. I highly recommend Kathleen and the team at Mackay Funerals. So professionally organized and grateful.
Thankyou once again Mackay Funerals.
