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.
We were treated with kindness, empathy and patience.
The care and compassion we received from Blackwell Funerals Payneham was really lovely during our difficult time. We were treated with kindness, empathy and patience. The staff were professional and guided us through the process of organising a funeral with ease, understanding and respecting our wishes throughout the process.
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.
Most families in Adelaide choose to hold a funeral within a week of their loved one’s passing. However, there’s no set timeline. Timing can depend on many factors – family travelling from interstate or overseas, cultural or religious traditions, or simply needing more time.

Yes. We believe every funeral should reflect the person being remembered. Our funeral directors will work closely with you to personalise the service – from music and readings to the location, flowers and special touches that honour your loved one’s life, values and wishes.
No. While we have peaceful chapels at our Adelaide funeral homes in Black Forest, Glenside, Hillcrest, Payneham, Somerton Park and Torrensville, funeral services don’t have to be held there.

Please speak to your funeral director about adding a live stream to your loved one's farewell, we'll take it from there.
