Meet Julia Knock, location manager at Drysdale Funerals in Nambour.

What do you enjoy about your job?
The variety! It sounds like a cliché, but every family is different. I like to focus on making each funeral as unique and authentic to the person as possible. We take the time to listen to families and are eager to deliver on their needs. I also love the fact that I live and work in the same town. This is my community, and I am privileged to serve our local families. It is wonderful being able to check in with our beautiful client families when I bump into them at the local supermarket or while watching our kids in a dance performance. 

What do you enjoy in your spare time?
Renovating my 60’s workers’ cottage in Petrie Creek.  It is SO typical of the homes in our town with it’s beautiful casement windows, timber floors and views. 

• Catching up with my teen and adult children for brunch or dinner and a game of cards.
• Enjoying a glass of wine on the back deck while watching a storm roll in.
• Reading – particularly Australian authors.
• Travel – I’ve recently embraced solo travel and am LOVING it. Train journeys are my latest passion!

Are there any special community groups you work with or support?
Zonta Club of the Blackall Range, Nambour Community Centre, Legacy.  We have a strong focus on community and support and welcome communications from community groups that we can assist.

Testimonials

I recently said goodbye to someone close to me. There was no time to think about which funeral home to choose, especially when you have no experience in preparing a funeral. I chose Drysdale Funerals in Nambour. It was a good choice because the people working here are very experienced and whole ceremony went very smoothly without any problems. I would like to thank the entire team of the funeral home on behalf of Marian's family, the guests present and myself. If anyone is planning a funeral ceremony, I highly recommend Drysdale Funerals in Nambour.

We have used Drysdale for both of my parents funerals and were very happy with their professional and personal approach. Daniel produced an amazing video tribute that really captured our parents special " love of a lifetime ". We would highly recommend their services. Daniel was sensitive, responsive and able to capture the essence of our Dad in every aspect of the funeral plan.
