Dear Jaqi,
I can't thank you enough for all that you did for me and my family when we needed it most. Although my Mum had been ill for a long time, her death was shattering and your gentle manner and calm reassurance were so helpful. Not only did you ensure Mum had a beautiful send-off, but you listened to, and encouraged, our thoughts. Your creativity, transparency, organisation and communication skills made everything seamless. We cannot rate your services highly enough. Heartfelt thanks

During the toughest time of our lives, Jacqueline stood as a pillar of support for my family. Her thoughtfulness, understanding, and professionalism were truly amazing. We were fortunate to have found her, as she skillfully guided us through the funeral arrangements, making a profound impact on our hearts. Jacqueline's unwavering care and expertise ensured a beautiful farewell to our beloved stepdad. We are forever grateful for her presence during our time of sorrow.
With heartfelt appreciation

Jaqi provides a 5 star service - from the very first meeting all the way to the end, there is care, understanding and love provided to the whole provision of service. Jaqi also thinks outside the square in providing what is best for all of the family members. Thank you Jaqi. It feels like you were a family member too in this whole process.

Jaqi Coan of Picaluna Funerals was exactly as the brochure says: 'personal & compassionate'. I would add: professional, kind & intuitive. She let me lead, but was ready to take the initiative if I became overwhelmed, & cared for my mother with gentle, timely, dignified respect.
Couldn't recommend more highly.

Kindness, empathy, mindfulness, love, reflection, just some of the words to describe our experience with Jacqueline Coan and Picaluna, on the passing of our dear mum. Not only were all arrangements organised seamlessly, the thoughts and generousness of Jaqi made this a much easier experience. Jaqi even wore my mother’s favourite colour, red, at all our meetings and this made for the perfect closure. So many heartfelt thanks.
