The Natural Funeral Company

Saying goodbye to a loved one is always difficult, but thankfully Colin and Grace from the Natural Funeral Company were there to guide us through this emotional time. From the very beginning they worked with us, listening to our requirements to ensure that our final farewell was personal and tailored to suit our family’s wishes. Nothing was too much trouble, and their calm, compassionate nature gave us all peace of mind about leaving our loved one in their care. We have no hesitation in recommending the Natural Funeral Company (and especially Colin and Grace) to anyone wanting to make the journey of a family member who has passed peaceful and with the dignity they deserve. Thank you Colin and Grace, we sincerely appreciate everything you did for us.

I contacted this company on the recommendation of a friend whom had recently attended one of their funerals and said it was beautiful. From the first contact I felt the company was very professional, responded to my many questions rapidly, even on weekends, and just seemed kind and compassionate.
Our celebrant was Joelie and all the feedback from people who attended was that the service was one of the most beautiful they had attended. On the cost side of things, there were no surprises, everything was clear and although this was the first funeral I had arranged, from what others have said, the cost was very low.
I wanted to dress my person who died and be with them for a time. This company went out of their way to make this happen, no rush, just absolute respect for our family and our deceased. This experience has left me feeling in awe of the amazing people who work here because its clearly more than a job, its a calling. Highly recommended.

Our experience with Colin and the team at The Natural Funeral Company was the sort of experience you want when you're dealing with one of life's difficult occasions. Years ago I contacted Colin for the first time just to make a general enquiry about natural burials, and it was due to his helpful approach back then that he was the one I turned to when my mother passed away recently. Even though Mum had to be transferred interstate for her funeral, Colin was completely professional and helpful in recommending an interstate service provider. Special mention also to the two lovely people who were called out on a long weekend Saturday night. I highly recommend Colin and his team.

Grace and the team at the natural funeral company are the most amazing compassionate people around. Extremely understanding and so patient and helpful with every step of the process. They are not there to line their pockets at all!!
10/10 recommend to anyone who is having to go through such an emotional and challenging time.

Saying goodbye to my Nan was so hard. I've never have to organise a funeral before and I was so unsure of where to start. But I am so glad that we went with The Natural Funeral Company. Because in all honesty, Grace was an absolute godsend. She was so patient, so caring and it felt like family, helping family. She treated my Nan with the utmost respect and care as she did the family left behind. The service was wonderful and one that my Nan would have been proud of. I can't thank her enough for practically holding my hand through out the whole process as I fumbled my way through it all. But it all came together beautifully in the end. If you need a funeral company that feels like family. Please, choose The Natural Funeral Company. They are amazing!
Thank you again everyone ♥

It really is a tough situation to deal with when a family member passes away. Making decisions so soon is very hard. I made the initial enquiries on behalf of Mum who was struggling dealing with the loss of her son. This was the first time we have used the Natural Funeral Company. We are satisfied we made the right choice. Based on our experience we would definitely recommend them and use them again in the future. We like the fact that it is a small family business with staff that are genuine and caring. Colin from the Natural Funeral Company was prompt with responding to our queries, helpful and he made sure Mum's wishes were met. Colin was professional and understanding at all times. All went well and there were no issues or problems whatsoever. Thankyou Colin and staff at Natural Funeral Company.

Mum had left instructions to use The Natural Funeral Company when she had passed, and I can see why she had picked them out. From the first point of contact with Colin on the phone, to the organising in person with Grace, they proceeded with a gentleness and understanding you need at such a sensitive time.
I was intimidated at first at the thought of planning a funeral, but Grace guided us through and did all the heavy lifting during the process. She was clearly very experienced and was able to provide lots of advice.
The funeral proceeded without a single hitch to speak of, which allowed us to instead focus on saying goodbye to mum. Everyone commented on what a lovely service it was and how it was just what mum would have wanted - it couldn't have been done without Grace and the team, thank you so much.

We had a tricky family setup to navigate so required genuine help with planning the funeral. I even felt alittle sorry for our funeral director at times but what a man, what a team. Dealt with everything as specified by his terminally ill client, was direct and civil when family members were requesting other options, offered suggestions as a professional when we were unsure on the answer. Professional, comforting and they seem to take a real interest in the personality of the person that has passed. Would definitely recommend Colin for anyone going through such an emotional experience.

To all who cared for me and my family when my mum passed suddenly a big thanks. Right from the two people who picked up mum from home to the wake following the service everything was done right. My family phoned a few funeral directors when it happened and these guys were the most direct in answering the questions we had without the sales talk. The told us how much, when best to do the service and where best to hold it. At an emotional time it was appreciated. Thanks again.

Colin was most professional in his dealings with our family through throughout the whole funeral process. He was compassionate and understanding, responsive and flexible. We highly recommend the Natural Funeral Company in Adelaide.

We couldn't have asked for a more perfect service for our precious Joyce; wife, Mum, Nanna, great-nanna. Grace really took on board our wishes and got it just right. She was professional, respectful, kind and supportive through the whole emotional process. We had so many positive, lovely comments after Mum's service. Thank you Grace and The Natural Funeral Company. You helped make an unbearable time, bearable for us and we're very grateful. Fred, Paula, Tracy & families.

Grace and Colin,
thank you so much for the organisation, planning and smooth running of mum’s funeral yesterday in the beautiful Mawson Chapel. I want to say how pleased I was at selecting your company for this difficult task. I chose your company because it is a small, local family business and I am rather cynical of the huge corporate takeover of the funeral business.
I really appreciated your professionalism, the smooth running and practical organisation of the funeral. I particularly want to thank Grace for her winning combination of empathy, kindness, practicality and patience at such a difficult emotional time.
Once again, thank you. Lou

During the hardest time, the death of my mum. Grace and Colin made organising mums funeral incredibly simple. Grace was kind and caring throughout the whole process. Would definitely recommend them!

Mum died on 2nd May 2015. I called these guys because of the beautiful, wicker casket on the website. Turns out it was an excellent decision. Everything about my experience of these guys was great. Colin was frank, helpful, and patient and put up with all my indecisiveness and disorganisation, and was still giving me advice and letting me change my mind about things even on the morning of the service. Absolutely none of the awful, unspoken pressure to buy a stiff looking, fancy wooden casket like I experienced with with my Dad's funeral years ago with another funeral company. Colin actually recommended the free cardboard casket, but we chose to buy the wicker basket. We had a service at Centennial Park with the casket up the front, and loads of people commented on how beautiful it was and asked for the name of the funeral director so they could use them. I called another funeral director for a quote, and it was all sympathy and sales talk. So glad I went with these guys.

I thank Colin Clark from the bottom of my heart for the honest,kind,respectful way and professional way he and the funeral company handled my partners Cremation!! Done with Dignity and empathy!! I would recommend him to everyone the service was lovely and at a good price..hoping no one soon has to inquire but with them if having too..Thank you COLIN CLARK

Thank you so much once again for an excellent service, you took care of my dad and today of my mum, you dont need to spend a lot of money for a funeral, with Clarke family you get service, honesty and professionality.Thanks Colin ❤

Can't recommend this place enough. A beautiful outdoor garden service for my gramps and lovely staff taking care of him.

Thanks for your help. Much appreciated.

The Natural Funeral company were so wonderful to our family during the difficult time of organizing our Mum’s funeral arrangements.

Grace who was our funeral director was a hardworking, empathetic and kind person, gave us all the options that we could choose from and recommended wonderful ideas to make the process as easy as possible, with brevity.

The service was handled beautifully and as silly and biased as it sounds, it was the best funeral I’ve been to and it ran so smoothly.

Thank you Grace and team. We had a beautiful service for mum which will add to the wonderful memories we already have of her.

I don't think I've ever been to a more unprofessional funeral. There were jokes made, inappropriate comments to the young children of the deceased, we were sat on top of other graves rather than the foot of them and the children were not acknowledged until the very end and that was very flippant at best. If this was a budget funeral then I hope it didn't cost much at all. We went away shaking our heads and said our own goodbyes in our own way later
