"At a time when we were grieving very deeply, having such lovely directors certainly soothed some of the pain. All the time I spent worrying about whether everything would go well was totally wasted, as I needn't have worried about a single thing. I know my dad would have loved it."
— Koulla Moore
"Peter demonstrated great compassion and sensitivity, guiding us through every requirement and taking care of all the necessary documentation. What could have been an overwhelming experience was made far easier by their calm reassurance and expert care."
— Savvas S. (about Peter)
"Peter and his team were excellent throughout, even opening up the funeral home at the weekend so we could pay our last respects. He listened and offered advice whilst always being sensitive to our needs and our emotions."
— Kate Athanasi (about Peter)
"They made the whole tragic process bearable, there wasn't anything they wouldn't do to help the grieving relatives. They knew all the rites of the traditional Greek Church and funeral religious customs. This in particular, was of enormous comfort to me, since I wanted to do justice to my mum who was extremely religious in her life."
— Maria Vanezis (about Peter)
"I am still in shock and sad over the loss of my son, but the team at Demetriou & English funeral home made a difficult situation so much more bearable. They listened to our needs and went above and beyond to ensure my son's funeral was a beautiful celebration of his life. What really stood out was their transparency and affordability - they didn't take advantage of us during a vulnerable time."
— George Fuller
"On the day of the funeral without Demetriou and English's help, knowledge and support, my family and I would have fallen apart, instead it was a day full of memories, tears, laughter and love. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts."
— Christalla Savva
