Our Story

A family company with a rich history.

Why Choose Us

A farewell that feels right for one family may be entirely different for another. That is why we see our role as listening first, then guiding and supporting each family’s choices. Too many times we hear of services shaped by a provider’s standard format rather than reflecting what the family truly wanted.

With extensive experience across all areas of funeral planning, our funeral directors are committed to ensuring that every service becomes a personal and heartfelt tribute to your loved one.

A Real Sense of Family

Nearly 90 years ago, Hollibone Funerals was established in the western suburbs of Melbourne after the owners saw a need for affordable funerals that served every culture in a growing Melbourne’s West. Today it continues to be an Australian family-owned business that exclusively serves Melbourne families as they farewell their loved one.

Our company believes in continuity throughout the entire funeral process and so whenever possible, the person who meets with your family to arrange the funeral details will also be at the funeral service to guide your family through. This approach has helped the company gain a reputation of offering a dignified and sincere service for a reasonable cost.

The firm’s concern for the community goes beyond the families it serves, training staff of local aged care facilities to help them care for bereaved families.
