Papatoetoe Funeral Cottage

Steven went over and above his call of duty. He provided an amazing service, second to none. Anything our family requested , he did it wholeheartedly and never complained. He made us feel so welcome, he treated us like we were family. Thank you for making our Aunty's farewell so much more memorable.

Highly recommend this wonderful & beautiful family business. Excellent service, facilities & location. What I was most impressed about this business our family were able to drive the hearse & their vehicles, free Wifi was accessible to stay in touch with family & friends whom were unable to attend also a bonus for our overseas families.Thank-you Steve for always making sure if we were ok & needing anything.God Bless

Papatoetoe funeral cottage went above and beyond their duties as a funeral home. They treated us like family and gave us all the time we needed with my cousin before her funeral and burial. We were given a herse to use so we could take her to our nana who wasn't well enough to attend her funeral, and we were given the code to the cottage so we could camp there for as long as we wanted without interruption. Thank you thank you, thank you!

What I had been led to expect ' compassionate and respectful guidance ' was not what I experienced recently when dealing with Steven.My friend wanted to be cremated. I assumed his body would stiil be treated with respect and all cares given - this certainly did not happen. My friend deserved so much better.The lack of care,compassion and communication was inexcusable and made this sad time even worse.I regret using the services of Papatoetoe Cottage funerals.

Stephen was just amazing going over and beyond the call of duty. The funeral cottage was the best venue for my family as we gathered to honor our loved one who had passed away. So homely I felt so comfortable despite the reason for our family gathering. I reside in central Qld and just appreciate the hospitality received. Thank u Stephen for being invisible until needed. All the very best.

Don't be fooled! The owner has been in the business too long. She has a story for every occasion to cover up or dismiss her mistakes and laziness and when challenged about it just uses her standard reply I've been in this business a long time ...". No apologies

Thank you Stephen for making such a sad and difficult time stress-free.Mum's passing was made a lot easier thanks to Stephen taking care of us and going out of his way to make us feel welcome. We were able to stay the night at the Cottage and have shared meals with our loved ones.The cottage is warm and welcoming and the gardens are beautiful.I cannot praise Stephen enough and encourage anyone who wants a caring and stress-free send off for their loved one, to reach out to Steve.Thanks again,Va'afusuaga Family.
