Company figurehead, managing director and founder, Cliff Bradley, celebrates his 80th birthday today. Loved, cherished and well-respected by those who know him, the lives of many have been touched by Cliff’s kindness through the years, with his generosity, caring nature and professionalism now forming the backbone to our company as we lead into the next generation. Since establishing the business back in 1964, Cliff has served and cared for thousands of families with selfless dedication and heartfelt compassion, still taking an active role in the team with his wisdom, unique wit and a proud sense of duty to our community.

As a family and on behalf of Cliff himself, we would like to extend a thank you to all families, many acquaintances, and those who we now consider as friends, past, present and future, for entrusting us to be part of their journey, and that of their loved ones. For those Cliff has comforted, the family he has guided, the young taken under his wing, the impact he has had in the community, he will forever be humbled and thankful to have been given that opportunity. We hope you will join us in thanking him for his continued service during his many years with us, and help us to wish him well on his special day.
