Having no experience or dealings with a funeral home before, Compassionate Funerals was a stand out based on their Google reviews. I read every review and loved that they were a small Not for Profit company. What’s more, their reviews were outstanding. My family and I live on the south side of Brisbane and the trip to Brendale was well worth it.

The service, attention to detail and personal assistance provided by Kim & Emily could not have been better or more professional. They were very caring and compassionate and ensured all our wishes were met. Mum would have definitely approved and we would recommend them to anyone.

Thank you so much for taking such good care of our Mum, Maisie. Kim you made a sad ordeal so manageable for our family. Always so compassionate, respectful and thoughtful towards us the family, as well as Mum. I highly recommend using Compassionate Funerals as they make you feel like you are dealing with friends who really care! Thanks again to you all. Your service was greatly appreciated!

Thank you to Kim and her team for making such a difficult time a little easier. Compassionate funerals made my sisters send off beautiful and nothing was too much trouble. Genuine, caring and simply amazing service.

We could not recommend Claudia and the team at Compassion Funerals highly enough. From the very first phone call, our family felt like our loved one was in the most caring and compassionate hands. Claudia guided us through the entire process at our own pace, making such a difficult time feel far less overwhelming. She did a beautiful job organising the service, treating everything with dignity, care, and genuine compassion throughout. This is something no family ever wants to go through, but we are so grateful for the kindness and support Claudia and the team showed us every step of the way. Thank you for helping us honour our loved one so beautifully.

Excellent personal service which was carried out in a very professional and dignified way. Thank you team. ❤️❤️✨

I'm quite late in adding this review, but it would be remiss of me not to acknowledge the incredible kindness, thoughtfulness and patience that Kim and the team at Compassionate Funerals showed our family when our beloved Jim passed in March 2026. It was a quick turnaround, and of course we were very overwhelmed - but Kim made the process so straightforward for us. She was so warm and understanding of how raw the grief was, and ensured everything ran as smoothly and stress-free as possible. The service itself was beautiful, we couldn't have asked for more. Many efforts were made to include personal touches, and Kim also connected us with our lovely celebrant Wendy. It's not something I'd wish on anyone, but for anyone navigating this stage of life, I can't recommend Compassionate Funerals enough to help you in your time of need.

We are incredibly grateful to the team at Compassionate Funerals Queensland for their compassionate and professional care during such a difficult time. From the very beginning, they were kind, patient, and truly understanding of our needs. They guided us gently through every step, ensuring everything was well organised and ran seamlessly. Their attention to detail and willingness to accommodate our wishes meant so much to our family. Most importantly, they treated our loved one with the utmost dignity and respect, which gave us great comfort. We felt supported throughout the entire process, and their thoughtful approach made a very challenging time much easier to navigate. We would highly recommend Compassionate Funerals Queensland to anyone looking for caring and professional funeral service E. Zoing and family

With the sudden passing of my mother, one call to Compassionate Funerals QLD was all that was needed. From the first contact to the last, Jessica was a Blessing, kind and very caring person. The wonderful memorial at Albany Creek Memorial Park was everything we imagined and more for our Mother and Nonna. Everything flowed beautifully and seemlessly, from our private family viewing at their chapel to the moment Mum's ashes were returned to us with the utmost respect. Our family extends our deepest gratitude to Jessica who made the entire process simple, full of compassion and with complete professionalism at a time when we all couldn't think With grateful hearts, we thank you Jessica....

I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the wonderful team at Compassionate Funerals Queensland. My late wife's service was conducted with great honour, compassion and professionalism. From first contact with Kim with her invaluable guidance and advice, right through to post service help and support, the team has been genuinely caring and available. I know in my heart that my dear Emma would have been proud with her beautiful send-off. I will again engage Compassionate Funerals when my time is near.

We’ll help you plan the perfect goodbye.
