Olivia and Fiona and the team were wonderfully supportive, empathetic and a perfect balance between professional and personal. Everything they said would happen, did happen when it was promised. The site down at Bodalla is beautiful. The fields are full of kangaroos, kookaburras, currawongs and other birds. The service was so well done. Our service was very small (according to mum's wishes) and was just lovely. We all have to make these plans eventually and I personally think that this service should the norm.

At a very difficult time Olivia was amazing. Helped me navigate thru a process that at times was overwhelming. I highy recommend Olivia for being thoughtful empathetic and for making something so heart wrenching so much easier.

Olivia Andrews of Funeral Commons is an outstanding professional.
When my son aged 39 years passed away earlier this year, it was both a challenging and emotional time for our family. Meeting Olivia at this difficult time was like 'letting the light in!'
Olivia assisted us prior to the service with empathy, compassion and intelligence.
Olivia knew exactly how we wanted the service conducted and she indeed delivered.
We are very grateful to have met Olivia. Thank you Olivia and our very best wishes to you.

Having to help your daughter make decisions regarding her end of life arrangements must be the hardest thing a parent can possibly endure. Olivia at Funeral Commons was a shining light of compassion, kindness, support and heartfelt care during the process from coming to meet with us in hospital, to the arrangements for the funeral home and the viewing, to the burial at Walawaani Way. Along with Fiona at Walawaani Way, these two amazing woman made sure that all my daughter's wishes for the time after her death and burial were honoured and fulfilled and in the gentlest, most compassionate way possible. We feel very grateful that we were able to entrust our beautiful girl to the care of such special people. We felt cared for, supported and loved throughout.

Olivia is an exceptionally caring and compassionate person whose empathy shines through in every interaction. She has a natural ability to make people feel supported, understood, and cared for during the incredibly difficult days following the loss of a loved one. Her warmth and gentle guidance provide reassurance when emotions are overwhelming.
I cannot speak highly enough of Olivia and Funeral Commons. Olivia handled the process (and helped us navigate the process) with dignity, kindness, and understanding. Olivia's thoughtful and perceptive approach ensured that every arrangement reflected my sister's wishes while easing the burden on us during a heartbreaking time. I would wholeheartedly recommend Olivia to anyone seeking compassionate funeral care.

Olivia Andrews is one of the most caring and genuine people I've met in end-of-life services. Her attention to detail and professionalism is second to none. Highly recommend getting in touch with her.
Fiona McCuaig
I can promise that Olivia is gifted with a beautiful and sensitive soul with a profound understanding of loss and grief. Her kind energy is warm and non intruding. She let me guide the mood. I was scared but felt safe with Olivia's warm and empathetic support.

Olivia supported my family following my father's death, and was organised, kind, and compassionate. She was able to take control of the things we simply didn't have the energy to deal with, and gently walk us through the process of celebrating dad's life.

Olivia's personalised and professional approach is genuinely professional and shows deep care for families and loved ones. Olivia has great venue ideas and offers a customised funeral service that you can only find with an independent funeral director.

From the moment we met her, Olivia was deeply considerate, calm, and thoughtful. Those qualities brought immense comfort during an incredibly difficult time. Every detail was handled with care and intention, and her calming presence brought clarity and peace when we needed it most.

I got in touch with Olivia when my beloved Mum entered palliative care. She really took the time to get to know me and Mum, and she provided me with so much comfort and support when Mum passed away. She helped my brother and I put together a beautiful service that reflected Mum's personality perfectly.

Caring, professional, authentic, trustworthy. I couldn't have been more pleased with the final outcome, it looked and felt perfectly appropriate. The mourners who attended also commented on what a lovely funeral it was, capturing my father's personal style.

I found Olivia always struck the right note. She was caring in a genuine way. And very accommodating and understanding of the difficult time you're going through.
