A Family Business Built on Trust

We could tell you why families trust us — but we’d rather let them tell you.

Vanessa and the team were exceptional with the support and services provided during a very difficult time for our family. Thank you!
Vanessa and her team have gone above and beyond. They were always there to answer questions and was always professional. We would have been lost if it weren't for them.
The team at Max Perrams was absolutely amazing from start to finish.. I particularly dealt with Bree who was the BEST! From the moment we spoke on the phone, I knew it was going to be the place we chose. After meeting with her, I felt so at ease at such a heartbreaking time — there was no pressure and the care she had, was next to none. We went to a few others meetings with other funeral directors and I ended up straight back at square one with Bree! She went above and beyond and made the whole process so seamless and stress free, catered to all my silly little requests and personalised every step for us, forever grateful!

A big thank you also to Alyssa and the rest of the team! Xx
Both my parents have had their funerals with Max Perram's. Dad most recently. After he had prepaid everything and happened to be interstate when he passed away, it was still very easy to deal with Bree and her team. They were helpful and professional and flexible. A little confusion about some details for the crematorium media was unfortunate, but all worked out. Thanks for your help and care to our family.
Alyssa and the team at Max Perrams were so respectful, compassionate and easy to deal with from our first contact and through out the whole process with my fathers arrangements. My mother and I sincerely Thank you all for helping us through this heartbreaking moment in our lives, my father would also be so pleased with the care you have taken and the concern you have shown for our family even after the farewell and the additional measures you went to.

Administrative side was also easy fuss free also thank you to Bree for your kindness and help too.

Leura memorial garden, provided us a peaceful space to honour my beloved father, Daniel was most helpful with my dads wishes.

All the efforts big and small did not go unnoticed, thank you again Alyssa and to your team too.

We would like to sincerely thank the team at Max Perram Funerals for the care, kindness and compassion shown to our family following the passing of my dad, Reg.

Losing someone you love is never easy, but the team made such a difficult time a little easier. From the very beginning, everything was handled with professionalism, understanding and genuine compassion.

Nothing was ever too much trouble, and every detail was taken care of with such respect and thoughtfulness. Dad’s farewell was beautiful and exactly what we had hoped for.

We are truly grateful for the support and care shown to our family during such an emotional time.

Thank you for helping us give Dad the beautiful farewell he deserved. We couldn’t have asked for more.

Sincere thanks to Vanessa, Brea and the team at Max Perrams funeral service who helped arrange both funeral services for my parents who passed away recently. The compassion they showed on both occasions was greatly appreciated. They made an extremely difficult time for my family run smoothly . I would definitely recommend them with no hesitation.
We are incredibly grateful for the compassion, professionalism and genuine care shown by Brea and her team during such a difficult time. From our first conversation, they treated our family with kindness, patience and respect, guiding us through every step and ensuring that every detail was handled beautifully.

Nothing was ever too much trouble, and their calm and thoughtful approach gave us great comfort. The funeral service was dignified, personal and a truly meaningful tribute to our loved one.

We cannot thank them enough for making an incredibly emotional time a little easier. We would wholeheartedly recommend them to any family seeking compassionate, respectful and highly professional funeral directors.
Once again, special thanks to Brea🙏
Our family wish to thank Max Perram team for their gentle care and compassion they provided for our beloved mother who passed in July 2026.
We would especially like to thank Bree Wade.

We would also like to thank Margaret for her patience and expertise in compiling and coordinating the media components of the service.

Thank you for treating our family with such respect.
