We truly appreciate your attention to detail and the importance you obviously place on presenting this lasting memory to family and friends who mourn."
- Antoinette & Ken
"The family were extremely pleased with the services you provided. We had a large number of family and friends watch live, and it provided a marvellous opportunity for people not to miss the event.
The extra footage when later edited in really gave us a full story of the day. From arrival of family and friends, to the final departure of the hearse this really forms a great memory for us.
We could not rate FVA highly enough to anyone who seeks to record a funeral service."
- Mark and Denise
"The original video was excellent. The edited version is simply STUNNING. The quality of the telecast and the camerawork were all first class.
On behalf of my family and myself, thank you so much Michelle, Dave and the editor. Really first class work and a magnificent keepsake for our family."
- Tony
"Thank you for the job that the FVA team did. The photos and video help capture the moments and the memory. It is unbelievably hard experience to go through and things like this don't fix it but are helpful in getting through it. I wanted personally thank you Michelle and your team for that."
- Shane
"The video was edited and put together so beautifully. My family and I will be forever grateful to have this memory to hold so closely to our hearts. Its not something you want to relive everyday, but the day is sometimes all a blur and when you do want to remember the final moments with a loved one this is an exceptional way to do so. Thank you for your guidance in choosing the right package for us. Thank you for your respect and capturing every moment and putting together such an amazing recollection of the day."

"The video has turned out like a movie. Truely we could not have asked for anything better, our family overseas have all be truely blown away at the live stream and the amazing quality.
Michelle was so professional, and understanding and we truely couldn’t even tell she was there at some points of the service. Thank you again for the whole journey, it was so easy in such a hard time."
- Gabey
"I say this in the context of being an ABC TV producer, I just saw the live stream from Fr Allan’s funeral. I was impressed. Multi-camera coverage with a truly appropriate sense of where the action actually was. Congratulation on a seriously fine job. I really don’t see this excellence often at all. So many people are just not good at this - but you are."
- Noel
"I can’t thank you enough. It was a very late decision I made to have my fathers funeral photographed since declining numerous suggestions to have it webcast. The photographer greeted me respectfully prior to the service, after that brief contact my family and I do not recall seeing him again… then arrived our video. It was so so much more beautiful than I had expected. The photographer captured the emotion, the love, the grief so incredibly. I am eternally grateful that I will have this video and photos to pass on to generations of our family."
- Joyce
"WOW! We are in awe of your professional service. Even before the final edit, we got so much feedback from so many how amazing the live stream was. They felt they were with us in person. They were so grateful that we had dad's service live streamed. We cannot thank you enough for capturing our dad's final send off. 5 star and beyond."
- Buena
"We are so grateful for the live stream and the recording. We did not think this would be so valuable and almost didn't go ahead with it in the beginning. But now we have our father's life story recorded for our future generations to view and appreciate their origins.
We appreciate the time spent on making our father's funeral respectful and memorable. He would be proud."
- Mario
"I've had such great feedback on the live stream and everyone who has seen the finished edited video has absolutely loved it and are very impressed. Our thanks to the team on the day. They were very discreet, and we didn't feel that we were being filmed or watched even though we knew we were. That takes some skill."
- Felicita
"What a wonderful service, exactly what I needed during such a tough time. Very grateful for FVA, from initial enquiry to the delivery on the day. Sarah was patient & kind with created the slideshow. Annie the AV technician was absolutely divine! The set up and take down was completed on time & respectfully. The slideshow and AV equipment was operated seamlessly. Annie’s smile & support on the day was just perfect. I would recommend Funeral Video to everyone and will most definitely use the service again."

"The communication from the start was amazing. The team showed empathy and compassion from beginning to end. Most importantly, Clayton’s celebration of his life was abled to be shared with family and friends who could not make it on the day in person. Thank you all for doing such a magnificent job on such a sad day. I can highly recommend you for listening, understanding and support to our family so that those that couldn’t attend could still listen and see what a wonderful celebration it was."
