About the company

Dailey Family Funerals has been family owned and operated since 2000, with three generations of the Dailey family working together at the business. It offers free, over-the-phone consultations as well as general advice and support.

It offers livestreaming and recording facilities at its chapel upon request, and as a family business, it recognises the challenges that can arise between families when arranging a funeral service.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Funeral director and funeral home services across the Newcastle district are delivered with a warmth that families repeatedly describe as compassionate and sensitive, including after sudden deaths. Several customers mention that the team accompanied them at every stage of arranging a service, and that requests were accommodated when plans had to be made at short notice. A point made in several accounts is the patience and clarity of explanations, particularly from Christine Dailey, credited with guiding families through decisions and responding swiftly when changes arose.

Amy is named for the empathy and kindness shown in helping a family pay tribute, and Danni for assistance in coordinating a service within limited time. The celebrant Sharnee is singled out for spending time with relatives to capture their memories and for heartfelt interaction with family members. Reviewers also note the dignity with which the person who had died was treated during final visits, and the immaculate chapel at Glendale used for an intimate farewell. Arrangements for relatives located overseas, handled largely remotely, are described as detailed and calm, with staff treating families as their own.

Dailey Family Funerals were friendly, patient and compassionate when we lost our family member. They listened to all of our wishes and carried them out effortlessly. We really felt cared for by everyone at Dailey's. Their celebrant Sharnee deserves mention as she was exceptional, spending time with our family to ensure she captured all our thoughts and memories. Her interactions with family were heartfelt and appreciated by all.

If I could give Christine Dailey and Dailey Family Funerals a thousand stars I would. My husband contacted them when he knew he didn't have long on this earth. They are kind, respectful, and compassionate.

Professional, Respectful, Caring, Dignified When my dear friend passed away suddenly I was lost. Her family were overseas and her close friends and I here had no idea at all of what to do. Like many of us I hadn't planned for this eventuality but we needed to ensure that she was treated with the respect and dignity that she deserved. Christine and all the wonderful Dailey Family Funeral staff treated us as if we were one their family. They were instrumental in helping us arrange and deliver every detail in the most respectful way that resulted in a beautiful dignified yet relaxed memorial for our loved one. I cannot thank you all enough.

Professional, compassionate service. Our loved one’s family was located overseas and much of the planning had to be done remotely. Christine Dailey was exceptional, and went out of her way to provide patient, detailed explanations for everything. The chapel at Glendale was immaculate and provided the perfect service for an intimate farewell to a treasured friend. Highly recommend, especially if, like us, you have no idea what you’re doing.
