Trusted by Adelaide families for 90 years

Everything was handled with respect and made us very comfortable.

I was very happy with the way everything was handled from picking up the body  to  the funeral parlor. They explained everything and were very understanding. They made my other son comfortable after finding his brother when he passed away. Thank you.

There are not enough words to fully express my gratitude to the staff.

 The Blackwell staff cared so lovingly for Mark and us as a family after Mark passed away. I would sincerely like Krystle and Shane to be acknowledged for their professionalism at the same time to be so caring of us all as it would not have been easy for them at this time being valued colleagues and a friend to Mark and myself.

Dania B. July 2025

Joseph was extremely empathic and patient with us.

He was able to change/accommodate any changes we wanted immediately and was always reassuring that nothing was a problem and that you could manage all requests which was evident with the lovely send off we had.
