During a time of extreme sadness and loss, my family and I are eternally grateful for the compassion, organisation and thoughtfulness of Darren and his team at Len Russell Funerals in preparing the final journey of our beloved sister Marissa. This is also not the first time that my family has utilised the services of Darren and his team at Len Russell and once again their professionalism and experience was definitely something that our family learnt on during a very difficult time. Thank Darren & team for treating and caring for our family as if they were one of your own!

Len Russell Funeral Directors were very professional, very courteous and went over and beyond to ensure my family were taken care of throughout such a hard time. They made the process very stress free and made sure the funeral was very sentimental in every way. Could not recommend highly enough.

I have no hesitation in recommending Len Russell Funerals. My dealings with the Director Darren Degen have been totally professional showing great sensitivity and compassion in all areas. Darren's quiet demeanour and genuine care for his client is quite obvious. I have every confidence that when my time comes I will be in very good hands. Thank you Darren.

Truly helpful. When my mum passed unexpectedly we were away on holidays and not sure what to do. My neighbour recommended Len Russell Funerals. Darren and the team at Len Russell Funerals were understanding of our situation and were reassuring that everything would be OK until we could get back. Once we returned we organised a service, Darren was able to recommend venues, funeral celebrant and catering options. Len Russell Funerals was even able to make a photo tribute and service leaflets for mum. Our family can't thank them enough for assisting us.

Dad pre-arranged his funeral a couple of years ago and when he died it was a matter of simply phoning Len Russell Funerals. Darren put together all the details exactly how dad wanted including all the old time songs he wanted. Dad wasn't born in Australia always wanted some of his ashes sent back to England, and this was arranged without a problem. Darren was comforting at one of our most vulnerable times, it was great to know we could rely on him, and I would have no problem in recommending him.

Darren very rude man. Also my loved ones ashes were to be posted to his final resting place (a request he made before he died) Darren had my loved ones ashes for nearly 4 weeks cause he was too busy to post them. Disgusting a loved one could not be laid to rest. Your mourning and he just doesnt have a caring bone in his body for peoples feelings.
