Aiden and his team are well equipped to make suggestions and cater to personal requests, which are followed in precise detail.

"Our funeral directors have the strong ability to be able to sit and listen to people, and hear their wonderful stories about their loved ones. They use great initiative when planning services and are always attentive throughout the process and during the service," Mr Nye said.

Most people will only ever arrange two funerals in their lives, so it's obvious that navigating this affair can cause great confusion, made worse by the grief that surrounds such loss. It makes sense to have a team who can provide both emotional support, and sound logistical advice.

Southern Highlands Funerals have enduring industry experience, with the ability to advise on burial and cremation options, legal documentation and manage an international repatriation service.

Giving families access to information means they can focus their energy on supporting and spending time with one another, an important factor in the wake of life events that carry such gravitas.

What really makes Southern Highlands Funerals stand apart in the industry, is their dedication to educating the community about grief, including the effect it can have on both children and adults.

"Our role is to ensure that a family's needs are met throughout the whole process.

"Showing that we are there for them, and that we will do anything possible to help them celebrate the life of their loved ones is our priority. Time is a big factor as well, we don't want to rush anyone," said Mr Nye.
