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.

From the first inquiry phone call to my Dad's funeral. Kim and the team were wonderful. Down to earth, supportive and held our hand through this difficult process. My Dad's service was special and heartfelt, and the team did an exceptional job. Thank you!

Our family would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude for the compassionate and professional care you provided during this difficult time. Your support and attention to detail truly made a difference, and I appreciate the kindness and respect shown to family and friends. Based on our experience, I would be happy to recommend your services to others who may need assistance during a challenging time. Thank you again for your support and dedication.

Thank you Kim and your staff for the wonderful funeral service you provided for my mother. Your attention to detail and your caring and professional manner in which you performed your role was outstanding. I would highly recommend your company to anyone needing funeral services in a such a difficult time

This unfortunately is the 6th time we have had to utilise the services of Compassionate Funerals in the last 2 years and at every turn they have been absolutely brilliant. We have come to know Kym, Jess and Emily quite well over this period and they can never do enough for you. Losing a loved one is so very hard and emotions are raw and real but no matter what they saw or heard we received nothing but compassion and understanding. It's the little things that make all the difference and the hardcover memorial book that they create is a particularly beautiful keepsake that we can treasure forever. I cannot recommend Compassionate Funerals enough and will never consider using any other company but them in the future.

We booked Compassionate Funerals to manage our father's cremation and memorial. From my first call with Jess, through every interaction we have had with Kim, Cate and Emily, the team have been kind and professional. They have worked with us to give Dad a beautiful memorial service and the care they have shown for Mum has been a godsend. They truly live up to their name. We were also delighted to discover that they are a Not For Profit Company and that part of the fee would be donated to a charity of our choice. Thank you, ladies, for making this time so special.

I on behalf of my dad and brothers cannot thank Compassionate Funerals enough for the care and support they provided for my mum’s funeral. From start to finish, Kim and her team were truly amazing. This was an Indian ceremony with additional requests, and they handled everything with the utmost respect, understanding, and sensitivity. Their professionalism and organisation made an incredibly difficult time so much easier for our family. Every step was carefully managed with warmth and compassion, allowing us to focus on honouring and remembering our mum. We are deeply grateful for their kindness and exceptional service.

We’ll help you plan the perfect goodbye.
