This is the 3rd time but 2^nd funeral I organised with the help of McGuiness Funerals. Annie and Wayne are the most amazing beautiful people. They both give you that outside support you really can’t do without. They make you feel as though it’s also a family member of their own that the funeral is for. Highly recommend to everyone.

I just lost my Mother in early January 2018, I enquired around Murwillumbah as to whom was a reputable company & McGuiness Funerals where recommended to us. We met with Annie & after talking to her we I appointed McGuiness Funerals Murwillumbah to organise and handle my Mother's Funeral. Noting that this was an extremely upsetting time for me, McGuiness Funerals were just amazing, with a very short time frame they organised the cards, the Crematorium, the flowers, they supplied support and helped with the photo presentation, and also recommended a celebrant whom was just lovely. On behalf of my Family and myself I cannot recommend them highly enough. All the Staff at McGuiness are just remarkable, they made a very sad day for me a very good celebration of my Mum's life with the ceremony. Thank you.
My Kindest regards, Dale Churchward

Honestly this is the most heartbreaking and tragic time in my life. So, support and compassion are key components to deal with my grief ... I received this and more. We were recommended McGuinness Funerals Murwillumbah from family friends who also felt they were well looked after when they experienced a loss. This is a hard job for anyone, however I was guided and treated so delicately that the hardest decisions in my darkest days were made easier with Annie and her team by my side. Thank you x

Bradley Allan Sims
Wayne, Annette and everyone at McGuiness Funeral Home were professional, helpful and compassionate. It wasn't easy dealing with our family who is widely dispersed around the world making funeral arrangements primarily through emails but they were patient and did what they could to make the process as easy as it could be. Add on top of that that our brother died overseas and they had to handle working with a funeral home overseas to repatriate his body - really McGuinness went above their call of duty. We can't thank them enough.

Libby, we particularly wanted to thank you personally for your incredible empathy, patience and understanding. We know we have a very complex family, with lots of powerful voices, and you took it all in your stride. We appreciate that you understood that “simple” things, were not. We feel blessed that you were the person to guide us through this part of our life journey with our amazing Grandmother. To make this bit happily memorable to us. We had not ever done this before and you made it as smooth as you could, as supported as you could. Whilst we all worked on behalf of our wider family, your loving care shown particularly to me, Sylvia & Ellie (as the family members with whom you had personal contact), will never be forgotten. Thank you Libby.
Anouk, Ellie and Sylvia (And our children, particularly those who attended the viewing and felt so welcomed by you: Sidera, Rollie and Mishi)

As a family we could not have been any happier with McGuinness Funerals. Libby was absolutely amazing. Her kind & compassionate way made it so much easier for our family when organising Dad's funeral. On the day they were all respectful and did everything we asked of them. If there were 10 stars it wouldn't be enough for the such wonderful service. Thank you.

Our family were very impressed with the care we received from Libby at McGuiness Funerals. From our first phone call we were treated with respect and compassion. It was a very difficult time but Libby helped us through the formalities and we were very pleased with the service for Noel. The organisation was terrific and we felt the service couldn’t have been handled any better. Thanks to Libby and Ruth Dunbar the celebrant for a lovely celebration of life. The photo presentation was exceptionally well done and saved the family a great deal of stress. Thanks to everyone involved.

Libby Varela of McGuiness Funerals organised the funeral for our father. Her organization skills were superb, we met with her only the once. The funeral and everything associated could not have been more professional and ran without a hitch. I could only give her the highest accolade and recommendation.
