About the company

Hollibone Funerals is family owned and locally operated, established nearly 90 years ago in the western suburbs of Melbourne. It continues today as an Australian family-owned business that exclusively serves Melbourne families.

Where possible, the same person who arranges the funeral also attends the funeral service, and the company states it does not outsource, owning all of its own facilities with no third-party transport. It also trains staff of local aged care facilities to help them care for bereaved families.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Cremation services, funeral direction and memorial arrangements are the services families across Melbourne turn to Hollibone Funerals for, and the reviews centre on the calm and humanity brought to each engagement. Named staff including Con, Mardi, Jamie, Jolene, Sioban and Jarryd, together with celebrant Allison, are repeatedly credited with patient guidance that carried relatives from the first planning conversation through the funeral and burial itself.

An observation shared by more than one reviewer is the trouble taken to honour particular cultural and religious customs, among them Orthodox and Macedonian rites, and to work around practical obstacles such as an ageing monument. Reviewers describe arrangements as straightforward and unhurried, with attentive listening and careful detail leaving families confident their relative was in trustworthy hands.

The conduct of the team on the day, including the gentlemen assisting at services, draws repeated thanks for its patience and dignity. Attention given to both the planning stage and the ceremony afterwards is mentioned regularly, with proceedings running without complication so that mourners had nothing further to manage. Appreciation for personalised care that went past expectations recurs throughout, as does gratitude for the steadiness shown during a distressing period and for the burden lifted from grieving relatives.

We want to sincerely thank Con, Sioban, Jarryd and their team for their exceptional care, professionalism and dedication to perfection in supporting our Orthodox customs and for helping us have a flawless funeral considering some difficult obstacles particularly having an old monument. Their care and support was exceptional during this difficult time and could not have asked for anything better. May God bless them all.

We had a great experience with Hollibone Funerals. Mardi was incredibly professional, kind, caring, and compassionate throughout the entire process. She made everything feel easy during such a difficult time and went above and beyond to fit us in for the date we needed, making sure everything worked perfectly for our family. We couldn’t have asked for better support. Thank you, From the Bogeski Family.

We are incredibly grateful to the funeral director, Mardi and the entire team for their outstanding support and service during such a difficult time. Their professionalism, compassion, and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of the process. From the initial planning through to the day of the service, they guided our family with genuine care, calmness, and respect. On the day of the funeral, everything ran seamlessly thanks to their thoughtful coordination and presence behind the scenes. They created a supportive and respectful environment for everyone in attendance, allowing us to focus on honouring Jill without any added stress. Their kindness and empathy provided real comfort during a time of deep emotion and loss.

I said goodbye to my Mum 3 years ago. At the time I was quite traumatised but found Hollibone Funerals to be extraordinarily easy to deal with. While I know this is a business transaction, I ALSO felt genuine care dealing with Jamie Crossley at that time. He was very sensitive and helpful and would recommend this business to others.

Jamie was so understanding, kind and professional and made all our concerns vanish. Thank you Jamie for everything you did to assist us with our Brother Billy's funeral. It was beautiful and thanks to you we didn't have to worry about anything. My sister and myself felt that we were leaving our brother in caring hands, which meant so much to us. Dawn & Julie xx
