We recently used the services of Candlepines for my father's funeral. The services provided by Bronwyn and the team went far beyond our expectations, we would highly recommend Candlepines for their professionalism, respect, promptness and expertise.Additonally, Candlepines is a local family owned service, the funeral service was tailored to our family's requests, a high quality service was provided, yet the costs associated were surprisingly affordable, a factor which is apparently unique to smaller boutique funeral services.If you live in the Western suburbs of Melbourne, I would highly recommend you consider Candlepines as an option for what can be a difficult time for your family to navigate.

I found the process of pre-organizing a basic cremation was easy to do and with the help of Bronwyn, not overwhelming at all. When the time came for the cremation plans to be enacted, it was done quietly and with no panic or stress on my part. Many thanks to Bronwyn and the staff.

Bronwyn and Phillip were incredibly helpful and understanding as we were enquiring about organising funeral and cremationarrangements. The Candlepines team were very accomodating and made our whole experience, while incredibly heartbreaking and hard, very easy and as positive as possible. Thank you so much to Bronwyn, Phillip and family for everything, we are so grateful to have met you, despite the circumstances, and have you look after everything for us. We would highly recommend Candlepines to anyone who finds themselves sadly needing your services.

Bronwyn from Candlepines was my contact person after my mother’s passing. She was very knowledgeable and assisted me in planning my mums funeral. She explained everything clearly and guided me through the process during a very difficult time. I would recommend this family business. Thank you

We had an excellent experience with Candlepines. Bronwyn Aspinal handled the funeral of my mother in 2016 with my father and then my father's in 2025, and the whole process was exceptional. Both times were extraordinarily difficult, and Bronwyn went above and beyond to make the process smooth and bearable. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Candlepines' undertaker and funeral director services.

We had previously met Bronwyn when we prearranged my elderly mother’s funeral a few years ago as I live interstate.When she passed, Bronwyn and Phillip carried out previously planned instructions beautifully.

Candlepines Undertakers made a very difficult time easier for our family with their compassion and professionalism. Bronwyn was incredibly kind and respectful, guiding us through a private cremation with no service, exactly as Mum wished. Everything was handled with care, sensitivity and warmth. We are deeply grateful to Bronwyn and the team for their support and understanding.

We reside in Queensland and my late mother lived her entire life in the western suburbs in Victoria. We were very fortunate to have met Bronwyn and Phillip at Candlepines and commend their professionalism, efficiency and empathy in relation to my late Mother’s arrangements during perhaps the most difficult period of the calendar year between Christmas and New Year.The high degree of compassion, care and diligence shown by Bronwyn and Phillip would never be found in any large national Funeral Director which is one of the primary reasons as to why we selected Candlepines for their genuine and personal service provided to our family, even more important as we reside interstate.A death of a loved one represents a difficult time in any family which can either bring out the best or worse in some families. Both Bronwyn and Phillip were intuitive in this regard and quite adept at handling any situation and were particularly skillful at managing a highly irrational, emotional and obstinate individual family member who created additional unnecessary pain and anguish.On behalf of my family, I am grateful for Bronwyn and Phillip’s support and responsiveness during this difficult time and Candlepines is well known to a number of local catholic parishes in the surrounding area and they are also highly recommended by a number of local Parish priests and I now fully understand and appreciate the reason why.

Thank you Bronwyn and Philip for the compassion and care you have shown us when putting our mum to rest. You have made it that much easier in navigating the process when losing a loved one. Your prompt attention to any questions is commendable. Candlepines has become the family funeral directors of choice and we will continue to recommend your services. On behalf of the Mlakar family, Thank you.Branka Briffa

My sister-in-law died suddenly on a trip to Victoria, with no family members in the state. When I reached out to Candlepines during the evening, Bronwyn took my call personally and immediately swung into action. Other "large" funeral directors either asked me to call back the next day, or dictated when our requested services would be held.Candlepines offered great support and flexibility throughout our bereavement. They liaised with the coroner and the crematorium, arranged a tranquil and tasteful viewing, organised natural products for the funeral gown and restoration, and planned a prompt return of the ashes for repatriation to New Zealand.Bronwyn and Candlepines have our deepest thanks and highest recommendation for their caring and professional approach.

Bronwyn, Philip and the team did a wonderful job in assisting our family organise the funeral of our grandfather at the Altona Sports Club. Bronwyn was professional, empathetic, super organised throughout the whole process and ensured our vision came to life on the day. She also read the eulogy beautifully and made sure she got all details (including pronunciations) correct. In fact she had a strong attention to detail for all matters relating to the service. We feel lucky that we found Candlepines by chance and would highly recommend their services. Thank you Candlepines team.

Bronwyn and the team were timely, professional and respectful in difficult times when elderly family members have passed away at home. Helped to navigate death administration roadblocks. Candlepines made a very difficult time as smooth as it can be from moving deceased persons from the home in a respectul manner to cremation to receipt of the death certificate. All at a reasonable cost

Bronwyn, Phillip and the staff at Candlepines handled my mother in-law's funeral last year and were fabulous, so didn't hesitate in using them for my father in-law two weeks ago. Again they were absolutely wonderful with the care they gave us. It was family awkward and they helped immensely, right down to the sourcing of Father Michael for the graveside burial. He was amazing.

I recently lost my mother and was so overwhelmed looking at funereal directors, I came across Candlepines and they just felt right. I met with Bronwyn who was absolutely lovely and so supportive helping me organise everything. She was so helpful with any questions I had and when it came to the service, the service was amazing. I have been to funerals in the past but candlepines really made us feel comforted and they treated us like family. I thank Bronwyn and the candlepines team for all of thier help and support. I would highly recommend candlepines to anyone finding themselves in the situation of needing to organise a funeral for thier loved ones.

Sadly, we had to organize a funeral for our mother who passed away in November. Unlike birthday parties which happen yearly, it is the one event that you don't get to rehearse. The entire process would have been quite overwhelming if it wasn't for Bronwyn at Candlepines. She made the entire process seem effortless, as well as organizing everything for us to ensure my mother had a lovely service. We highly recommend Bronwyn & Phillip!

Our daughter was stillborn and it was a difficult time, Bronwyn and team managed everything for us from the collection of our little girl to the subsequent tasks. Our little girl will always remain in our hearts, and I'll recommend Bronwyn services to everyone that might be looking for a gentle touch in these difficult conditions.

We contacted Candlepines to arrange for a pre paid funeral both Phillip and Bronwyn we very helpful in advising us of all packages and options and costs that were available. Arranging the funeral in advance was an excellent option for us. When it was time for the funeral arrangements we had a meeting with Bronwyn she was so kind considerate and sympathetic. Bronwyn arranged for the memorial cards the flowers and pointed us in the right direction to arrange the photo gallery and music that we had chosen. It was a beautiful service and everything we had asked for was provided on the day.I would highly recommend Candlepines for a funeral service their professional approach and attention to detail was outstanding.I cannot thank Bronwyn enough for the sympathy and kindness she showed to me in all my dealings with her and the help she has offered me weeks after the funeralIrena Stefankowski

I can not thank Bronwyn and team at Candlepines enough for leading us through a very difficult time, We live in the U.K and my relatives have no other family in Australia it was left to Bronwyn to organise everything for us which she did with compassion, patience, knowledge, nothing and I mean NOTHING was to much trouble, I wouldnt have got through it all without her, this is the second time she has done this wonderful service for us, first Jean and now her husband she managed to get the same vicar to take the service for both of our relatives so he knew them both and that was comforting. I would recommend Candlepines to anyone wanting their loved ones cared for by a lovely caring and professional team.

Extremely grateful for Bronwyn helped at a very sad time. My younger brother passed away unexpectedly. I contacted a couple of places to get help to pay for the cremation. To my horror they wanted you to jump through hoops, to be able to receive help. Candlepines was very reasonable, and professional. I didn't have all the trimmings,which lower the cost. Thank you kindly Bronwyn for your kindest.

Much appreciated to Candlepines in facilitating my Father's funeral. They also assisted with my Mother's funeral a year ago. Very professional and accommodating with attention to detail. Thank you Bronwyn and Phillip

A very big heartfelt thank you to Bronwyn and Phillip for their compassion and professionalism shown to us , especially organising a custom coffin and funeral at short notice . Everything went like clockwork to us ,and I am sure behind the scenes the logistics were a bit worrying. The professionalism at the service was second to none , I have no problem in recommending Candlepines to anyone , a top job

After mum passed away we weren’t sure who to use or what happened next - death admin - people called it ! It was a very difficult time but once we found Candlepines funeral services we felt relieved as they were so helpful and very professional. Mum had a very simple quick burial and with Bronwyn’s help she was laid to rest with ease and comfort for all concerned, and the flowers were just beautiful. Thank-you Bronwyn and Candlepines funeral services.

We highly recommend Bronwyn of Candlepines Funeral Services. Bronwyn sympathetically guided us through the entire funeral arrangements at a time of high anxiety for our family, without fuss. Bronwyn always followed through on what she said she would do and she went the extra mile to arrange a viewing with little notice.
Nothing was too much trouble and Bronwyn answered our messages at any time of the day or night which meant we were always abreast of all developments.
Bronwyn’s reassuring manner was a blessing to our mother and we sincerely thank Bronwyn for her empathy.

Thank you very much for the well organise arrangements done for my dad funeral at the chapel. My family members in Singapore told me the mass was simple but very beautiful service with the perfect music selected especially the 1st and 3rd was very touching and emotional. We also felt that during the mass. Thanking Bronwyn and Philip for their personal touch.

We totally recommend Candlepines to take care of all your funeral requirements during such a difficult time. We did not have to worry about anything after arrangements had been made after the passing of our Mother, in May this year. We found Bronwyn and Phillip to be caring, sensative, compassionate and totally professional in their dealings at this time. We also loved the fact that Candlepines is a local businesses with conections in our community, which made the experience more personal.

Bronwyn and Phillip are simply wonderful from beginning to end and beyond the funeral in support of the grieving family. Dad and I can’t thank you both enough. Mum’s passing was sudden and that lovely voice on the end of my first phone call made it all so easier to deal with the details. Thank you Candlepines xo
