Dear Annie, Shirley's family would like to thank you in particular, and all your amazing team at Mcguiness Funerals. The way you led us through the finer details of Mum's farewell eased our burden at such a sad time for us all. We appreciated your empathy and compassion and the professional way you conducted your business.  Our Mothers Celebration of Life was Dignified and Respectful (befitting of the lady she was) and for that we are so deeply grateful.
Very Kind Regards,
Annemaree and all Shirley's loving family.

Thank you so very much for assisting me in organizing and looking after mum's, Ursula Mills funeral.  The thought and understanding you gave to me I cannot thank you enough.  Mum's funeral and lead up to ran smoothly and professionally, and I was proud of such a lovely send off we gave to her.  This could not have been possible without your support.

Annie was an absolute angel sent from god as she has done both my parents services within a year apart from one another and had such a beautiful and caring nature and was amazing with conducting both of their services with such dignity and respect to both them and our immediate family members .

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

To Wayne and all the staff,
We'd like to extend our heartfelt thanks and appreciation to you for the personal and professional assistance you gave us when making arrangements for our beautiful Dad, Allan Bryce. Wayne you made it so easy for us at such a sad and difficult time, taking the stress away and making us feel that Dad was in very capable and caring hands. The room and catering at Melaleuca you arranged for us was wonderful, music and video faultlessly provided, and the caring support you gave us on the day was really very much appreciated. We came away from the Memorial Celebration for Dad feeling we gave him the best send-off we could have wished for. Thanks again Wayne, you're wonderful at what you do.

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.

Jeanette Ann Le Clerc
Libby and Wayne, you were incredible. It really was a stressful time having to do this on my own. You could not have been more compassionate and supportive during this time. Your communication was frequent and responsive. I even threw a last minute spanner in the works, which you managed extremely professionally, meeting all of my expectations. On the day however, my expectations were far exceeded. It ran so smoothly, and was the most beautiful send off for Mum. The location was idyllic. The cross and nameplate on the coffin, the petals, the book and the ultra modern hearse were all lovely touches. I cannot express how grateful I am for the wonderful work you both did and for choosing your company in the first place. Thank you so much.

Douglas Willcocks McFadden 
Our family had never had to plan a funeral before and during such a difficult time, Libby and the team at McGuiness Funerals made such an effort to ensure our Pop had a respectful and loving service. Nothing was too much to ask for and they kept in touch every step of the way. Thanks again to the team at McGuiness Funerals.

Our family would like to thank the kind and caring staff of McGuiness Funerals for their help in arranging the funeral of our late wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother and great grandmother. McGuiness Funerals are consummate professionals. Their kindness, understanding and attention to detail made our family feel comfortable and so special throughout a very difficult time. Nothing was too much trouble. Communication was excellent, everything was explained in complete detail, which meant there were no misunderstandings and no undue stress on our family. We would like to especially thank Libby and Sheraden for their valuable assistance and their personal touch, which made such a difference. We have absolutely no hesitation in recommending McGuiness Funerals they offer both professional and personal service.

Dorothy Theresa Washington "Tess"  
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.

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.

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.
