Theodore from Agape Funerals provides an excellent Greek Orthodox funeral service. Agape Funerals provided a very professional, caring and respectful Greek funeral for my father. With attention to the Greek funeral service and burial customs and traditions, as well as knowledge of all regulatory requirements, Agape Funerals facilitated my father having a loving send off, with a respectful church service; and then being laid to rest with the utmost dignity and care. Theodore liaised with the Greek Orthodox Church, the cemetery and of course with us as the family, and kept us informed at every step. Thank you Agape Funerals. You are highly recommended for your care and your attention to detail in the entire funeral process, from my initial call to the Greek Orthodox burial. I am very grateful to you and Vana and your team at Agape Funerals. Thank you Theodore.

Lucia Kladas

Theodore was a tremendous help for me, as the situation for myself and my siblings was an exhumation and burial of my Father. This was a very lengthy and very emotional process. A 12 month blessing for my deceased Mother was also organised on the same day. From the start of my communication with Theodore to the actual day of the burial and blessing, Theodore was very professional, understanding and assuring. With all the complexity of the whole situation, the day of the exhumation, funeral and blessing went beautifully and I would definitely recommend Theodore, Agape Funerals with full confidence. A huge thank you from Lucia to you Theodore.
