Funeral of Elaine O'Neil
From start to finish Ballard & Shortall were first class. Their compasion throughout showed their care and support our family needed at this difficult time.
Their support through the planning made the process as smooth as it could possibly be and the funeral itself was an amazingly supportive service. Barney is an amazing Celebrant and always does and amazing job.
To have Paul Shortall on hand at the funeral to direct from start to finish made the service special.
Thank you to everyone at Ballard & Shortall on behalf of Terry and his entire family.

Ballard & Shortall were exceptional in the planning, delivery and care of my Grandad at the beginning of this year.
Their attention to detail and care to our family after a huge loss was a indescribable comfort during a difficult time.
The team on the day were incredible and truly deserve all the recognition they get for all the elements tied together, including by the team in the background whos attention to detail was not unnoticed.
A special mention to Clare for her explanation of things, arranging of viewing's and patience with our Family.
We know our Grandad was in good hands.
