    Cannot thank Shanti and her team at Sensible Funerals enough for the excellent experience we had. Highly recommend! No fuss, very ‘easy’ and straightforward process with everything made clear; yet still with compassion and empathy. The cost in comparison to other services is phenomenal and honestly was a little unbelievable to start with; but it ended up being exactly as advised with no hidden costs etc. The quality of standard inclusions was fantastic. The Harley Hearse added a unique touch to personalise the service some more and pay tribute to the person my grandfather was.
    Thank you for making a difficult experience that little bit easier.

    I recently had to identify my sister’s body at Sensible Funerals, prior to cremation. I was very saddened by the experience. The viewing was horrible, with only the head and neck visible through a small transparent area on the casket.
    There was no viewing room and the ambience of the premises were as as I would expect at a pauper’s funeraI. I was further dismayed a few days later, to learn that the cremation was performed at a small private crematorium that provides no online search.
    My conclusion was that “you get what you pay for”.

      Dear Peter,
      We are very sorry to hear your experience did not meet your expectations.
      Our Sensible Caskets are a unique design of an outer covering and an inner casket which is then removed and cremated, designed to minimise waste and keep costs to the family low. The viewing window is open to allow family to touch their loved ones if they wish to do so.
      Other coffin and casket options are of course also available.
      We do not use a separate viewing room for identifications, we book our chapel with the waterfall feature backdrop and ambient music for this purpose.
      The cremation is indeed conducted by a private crematorium, SA Cremations, one of the largest in South Australia.
      We pride ourselves on being able to provide a dignified, respectful service whilst keeping our prices low.

    A beautiful choice for our dads
    cremation and funeral service.
    Shanti was lovely and made things as stress free as possible. Their professionalism and care was fantastic.
    I would definitely recommend sensible funerals if you are looking for a sensibly priced and dignified send off for your loved one.

    Hi Shanti,
    Just want to say thank you again for all your assistance in making our mothers service go smoothly and especially the preparation before.
    Everyone has said that it was a beautiful service with some saying it is the best they had been to!
    You have been extremely kind and patient during our mourning and this has been mentioned to many others.
    The afternoon was excellent at the Lockleys Hotel who supplied very nice food and I had ordered plenty for everyone, so they were happy

    Shanti

    Just wanted to send you a quick email to inform you that my entire family, close friends and definitely myself, really do appreciate how you personally delivered Peter’s funeral last Friday. You did an exceptional job and it made everything so much easier to deal with considering emotions were running so high on the day. I was also hoping you could also pass on the appreciation to all your team, but more so to both Rod and Suzanne, who were both very helpful and made the entire process a breeze.
    Once again, thank you so much Shanti and I personally will be referring you to any future funeral arrangements that require an expert team to organise and deliver.

    On behalf of the Dwiar family, I wish to express our thanks for a wonderful service for Dad.
    There were a number of comments made to several of us that it was a most dignified and enjoyable experience under the circumstances.
    Once again my personal thanks for the courteous and friendly manner in which you conducted all the arrangements.

    We wish to express our sincere thanks for your help and efforts after the death of our father. Your backing and advice helped us as a family make the day of Dad’s funeral a celebration of a life well lived and well loved. Sadness at our loss but thanks for the many years we shared, lived and laughed were prominent in our thoughts. Thanks again.

    Dear Christine, Rod and Colleagues
    I want to thank you for coming off your holidays to give such a meaningful service for Brian’s Celebration of Life and for the support Rod and your colleagues gave us during a difficult time for myself and family.

    Sensible funerals have done an amazing job with my brothers funeral of the age of 29 years young. Was riding his Harley Davidson when he was killed! (Not his fault). So a reminder of what Dwayne loved and had a passion for riding his bike we sent Dwayne off with Tim. Tim gave Dwayne a beautiful thing Dwayne’s last final ride! It was such a beautiful way of sending someone off it’s so sad but such style and my brother would of loved everything that Tim & Shanti have done for us! Shanti spoke for us at the funeral she did an amazing job such beautiful words! I highly recommend these amazing humans as the words my brother would say, they are only to help and do what’s best for you! You will not be disappointed on the amazing job these guys done for us! Thank you so much Shanti & Tim
