Good afternoon,

I wanted to pass on my heartfelt thanks for arranging the most beautiful service for my Nan, Dot Blyth. Due to COVID we were unable to attend but watched the live stream, thank you.

When my Pop Bill passed away you also arranged his funeral and I remember your staff being such a strong and professional presence, you also conducted your business with such love and care. Nan always thought very highly of your services.

Thank you for guiding my family though this difficult time and thank you for a beautiful good bye for my very special Nan.

Take care, Janaha Good

Hi Peter and staff, I would like to thank you all for the live feed I experienced with the funeral of my grandfather Geoff Charles. You guys did an absolutely fantastic job and I would recommend you to anyone in Tasmania. You cannot be thanked enough.

Thanks, Darran Hatten (Geoff's grandson)

My family found ourselves in a tragic predicament when our Dad who was holidaying in Tasmania suddenly died. The support, empathy, kindness and professionalism shown by Colin was outstanding. We had to get Dad home to New Zealand and nothing was too much trouble. He was particularly aware of Mums needs and worked tirelessly to minimise her trauma. His team behind the scene also managed to organise flights and do the administration to get Dad home ASAP. We just don?t know how to thankyou enough but you have made a difficult situation a lot less complicated and would recommend to anyone.

Our sincere thanks from all the Loomb family.

Many thanks to you Peter, Jenny and all your staff for the lovely card and plant seeds you sent me today, 1 year after the funeral of our beloved John. I and our family are forever grateful to you all for taking care of John and all that you did in kindness to us in giving my husband a special funeral. Thank you all so very much we appreciate everything, the video for us to keep of the service and the lovely photo albums and special candle all mean so much to us.

So deepest thanks for all you people did for us on that sad day. Regards, Mrs Margaret Brown.

Dear Hellen and Peter,

Thank you for your thoughtfulness in sending us a card and your kindness in enclosing flower seeds. It will be nice to see the flowers when they grow knowing they are in remembrance of our dear mother.

Thank you for your care and understanding during the early days of our bereavement.

Yours sincerely, Meryl and Neville Newett and family.

Dear Colin and Peter,

Thank you for the seeds you sent with a card recently. Since losing my father, John Twin, in July 2016 and my mother, Diana, 9 months before my father, both at Inglis House at the Wynyard Care Centre, we decided to sell our 5 acre property in Seabrook Rd and have now moved south to live. The seeds and card reached us here.

We will not not forget your care for us - at those times. We thank you for the dignity with which you treated my parents after each death and the thoughtfulness you showed during each of their funerals. My brother and I really needed your support prior to the funerals and were grateful for the professional way that was handled.

We were especially grateful that you were able to assist by arranging for my mother's funeral to be held at the Care Centre Chapel. It made such a difference to my father, therefore all of us, enabling the staff to grieve also. Mum was much loved at the Care Centre.

Thankyou for managing not just our family members, who travelled from Hobart and Canberra, but also friends whom we had not expected to attend from Hobart and Shearwater, on that day, and for making your Ulverstone chapel available last July for Dad's funeral.

Yours sincerely,

Rosemary and Andy Farrell

Thank you Noel for the caring, patience and understanding shown to us all on arranging the service and funeral for our beloved Dion. The professional way you carried the whole funeral out was sincerely appreciated,

the Sims family.

Dear Peter,

Thank you for all that you did to make Helen's funeral a memorable occasion.

Many people made comment about how good it had been.

It was the celebration of life that she wanted.

Best wishes

Eric

Dear Peter and Vincent's Staff,

We, the family of Desmond Dare Badcock wish to express our heartfelt THANKS for your Funeral Services to us, Des' family. We were most grateful for the faithful way in which you setup and carried on in the bucketing rain, ably supporting us, at Des' Burial in the Yolla Cemetery on Thursday Sept 29, 2016 and then at the Yolla Uniting Church for the Thanksgiving Service, with no power! It was a BIG day, and most memorable in so many different ways! Des told us not long before he died that there was more rain to come yet! He was correct and we ALL endured it!!

We were touched, Peter, by the way you walked ahead of Des the night you collected his body from his beloved Yolla farm/home. "God has them BOTH in His keeping, we have them BOTH in our hearts and memories, forever!"

With Kind regards,

Desri and Brian Morgan & John and Marion Badcock and their families.

Dear Scott and those who helped with the tasteful compassionate funeral of my father Athol Ling I would like to pass on my heartfelt thanks. To the young man left behind to pack up in the pouring rain, I hope you didn't catch cold! Vincent Funeral Services are wonderful and I'm glad we used you, kind regards,

Christine Gannon (Ling)
