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 entrusted Claudia and the Compassionate Funerals team with our father's cremation and memorial, and we could not have asked for more caring or professional support. From our very first interaction, Claudia and her team showed genuine kindness and respect, guiding us through every step with sensitivity. They created a beautiful service for our father, thoughtfully incorporating Hindu rituals and rites to honor his traditions. Their names truly reflects the service they provide - Compassionate in every sense. We are deeply grateful for their dedication and care. Thank you, Mathi & Mahendra

If you have sadly lost a precious loved one and you are wondering who would look after them, and your family at this vulnerable time I urge you to call Kim at Compassionate Funerals Brendale. I am writing this from our own experience in October when we lost our beautiful Mum and Grandmother - Shirley, and Kim, Emily and Claudia were THE BEST! I still get a lump in my throat remembering how Claudia held an umbrella as a sunshade over my husband as he spoke (graveside) and gave him some supportive pats when he was teary. They were all such a perfect combination of compassion and professionalism! It’s cliche, but if I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Thank you so very much, from our family.

Jess and her team were a pleasure to deal with in this tough time. They made a very difficult and daunting process so much easier than i was expecting and their support and professionalism has been invaluable to our family

Dealing with the death of a loved one is so difficult but I cannot thank Kim enough for helping my family get through this extremely difficult time. Dad's funeral was the best send off we could have asked for and Compassionate Funerals made our experience so much easier. Everything ran so smoothly and at a time when we are all feeling so lost, we were so grateful that Kim and her team were there to take over and guide us through the process. I hope not to see you again any time soon (meant of course in the nicest possible way) but will highly recommend your services. Thank you again x I'd also like to mention your recommendation of David Taylor as the celebrant. You couldn't have been more spot on about how perfect he would be for dad's service. We felt like he had known the family for years. What a special man he his and he conducted a perfect service!

The service we received from our first meeting with Kim to the day our beautiful and precious mum was taken to the crematorium was seamless given the circumstances. She made us all feel at ease. Explained things clearly. Very welcoming and warm during a very sad time. Was always professional and respectful of our family wishes. Thank you Kim and your team from the bottom of my heart and thank you for giving us the special moment with our mum yesterday especially during this very sad time. Tasi

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.
