What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Families arranging services for a parent, grandparent or child in Shepparton have shared accounts of Kittle Brothers Funeral Directors that centre on the personal manner of the staff who handled the arrangements. Rick is named repeatedly as caring and warm in the lead-up to ceremonies, while Graeme is singled out for the professional and empathetic way he guided relatives through unfamiliar decisions.

Customers writing about their orders describe the blend of personal attention and professional conduct, especially the effort made to honour family wishes and to lighten an extremely difficult process. Neat and well-run services, helpful attendants and patient answers from the first call feature across the feedback. An aspect raised across a number of reviews is how overwhelmed families felt before arrangements began, and how that uncertainty was met with guidance rather than pressure.

Commendations also centre on affordability and quality, with the team going out of its way to accommodate particular requests. The recurring theme is compassion during a heartbreaking time, shown through practical support, respect for pre-arranged instructions and dignified ceremonies for local families. That combination of warmth and organisation is what relatives remember most, and it is the care shown by Rick, Graeme and the wider team that families return to in their thanks.

Thank you to Rick, Graeme, Sharon and staff for their assistance during our dad/Grandfather's funeral. We are very greatful for the service provided which made this difficult time less stressful. Kittle Brothers Funeral Directors had almost everything arranged for us, all we had to do is provide the photos and music for the service, the rest we didnt have to worry about. From the moment we went to arrange the funeral all the staff were kind and empathetic. Rick was available and responded to all our queries we had and all the staff were very understanding during this difficult time. We couldn't have chosen a better funeral service to lay our dad/grandpa to rest. Thank you once again!

James and I want to express our deepest thanks to Kittle Bros Funerals for the incredible care and support they provided during such a heartbreaking time for our family. From the first moment we contacted them, we were met with kindness, patience, and genuine compassion. A very special thank you to Graeme, who guided us through every step with professionalism and empathy. We were completely lost on where to even begin with arranging a funeral, but Graeme made the process calm and manageable. His support, understanding, and gentle approach meant the world to us. Billy’s service was handled with such respect and dignity, and we are truly grateful for the effort and detail that went into giving him a beautiful farewell. We couldn’t fault Kittle Bros or Graeme — they made an incredibly difficult time just a little easier to bear. Highly recommended. 🤍

Not recommended. Indifferent uncaring attitude. Basics poorly organised. Upsetting. For your sake and the sake of your loved one, look elsewhere for your funeral service.

I am totally heartbroken on how they conducted themselves throughout the whole time. We went to make arrangements for our beautiful mother and Rick had misplaced the paperwork with mums arrangements she pre made, he had no idea on wat her wishes were. Let alone havin to ask heaps of questions he should of already known, they said they would arrange to have a outfit picked up for mum and no1 did so i had to go get it and drop it off. Then when emailin us a preview of the booklet we were gunna be getting as a keepsake they had the wrong last name on it. During the service they said the wrong last name for our mums husband. I had to ring or email plenty of times regarding mums ashes, i eventually received my share and her husband received his but it took them 2mths to send either out. They tried to say they had no confirmation on where the ashes or the death certificate was going to! If mum hadnt of already prepaid for her funeral we would have walked out and found sumwhere else. It was hard enough losing our beloved mother let alone dealing with all the stuff ups they made along the way, theres simply NO EXCUSE for their unprofessionalism

My father's body was picked up by Kittle Bros from the hospital morgue without any written consent and then we got charged a fee for his body to be released. Very disappointing
