At short notice, Melissa provided embalming services for one of our families. The result was beyond what we ever expected. A difficult case, however the professionalism and dedication from Melissa was exceptional and the feedback from our family was exceptional.
Tracy Dixon (Mortuary Technician) – McCartney Family Funerals
I engaged the assistance of Melissa on the personal recommendation of an industry colleague, and she certainly lived up to the recommendation. Not only was the deceased cared for in a dignified manner, the final result after embalming provided a very natural appearance which is the ultimate outcome. Furthermore, Melissa was very professional in her personal engagement, as well as paperwork, providing a computerised and very detailed report on the preparation performed. I have no hesitation in recommending her services to other Funeral colleagues requiring the assistance of a qualified embalmer.
Ramon Salomon – Sylvan Funerals
With our mortician/embalmer away on holidays I have just had Melissa working in our mortuary for the past two weeks. Melissa’s compassion, care, conduct & skill are second to none, she works in a timely manner whilst taking such care & leaves everything in a very clean & hygienic state. I was extremely impressed with how easily she worked in with the processes already in place & especially with the outcome of her preparations & embalms, every family that viewed were extremely happy & I felt proud to have them view their loved ones. I would highly recommend her to any Funeral organisation needing their mortuary care looked after in the absence of their usual mortician or for a company that may not have a person in this role.
Angela Russell – Logan & Bethel Funerals
We have now used Young Embalming for two funerals now, so professional, so understanding of families needs. I could not recommend Young Embalming enough. They really look after every detail and we received a follow up phone call a day after the embalming happened. Keep up the amazing work.
