🕊️ Celebrating One Year of Caring for Our Community 🕊️

As we reflect on our first year at McCulloch and Gleave Funeral Services we’re filled with gratitude for the families who have placed their trust in us during life’s most difficult moments.

Over the past 12 months, it has been our honour to offer support, guidance, and compassion to our community — and we remain deeply committed to serving with dignity and respect.

Thank you for allowing us to walk beside you. Your trust means everything to us.

With heartfelt appreciation,
The McCulloch and Gleave Team

Flowers offer solace, hope, and a way to express grief during times of loss by symbolising beauty, remembrance, and the cycle of life.
They provide comfort to those grieving, express sympathy, and honour the memory of loved ones we have lost.
