What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Those who have needed a cremation or funeral in Launceston and its surrounds consistently describe a service defined by compassion and patient guidance. Accounts often return to the warmth shown from the first contact, particularly when a relative had died interstate and arrangements had to be simplified across state lines. Tracey Wicks is named for her empathetic counsel, Kesni for attentive care and for meeting a family at the hospital, and Phil for calmly guiding a grieving person through each stage.

Belinda is thanked for keeping a family updated as matters progressed, Margie and Tracey for the reassurance given when a pre-planned funeral was carried out, and Andrew for driving a father from Tasmania to Sydney for burial beside his late wife. Something that features in review after review is clear communication and flexibility while a loved one was in the company's care, with the process absorbing stress rather than adding to it. The team, including Erin, is described as professional and caring, delivering a fitting farewell and, in one account, allowing a family to breathe and process their loss while feeling their mother was in safe hands.

Sharing such an intimate part of your life at this emotional time isn't easy. I would like to especially thank Tracey Wicks Funeral Consultant whose soft and empathetic guidance Helped ease a broken heart and helped me navigate through the maze to eventually find the road we will all eventually go down.

I cannot recommend Lethborg Family Funerals highly enough. At just 27 years old, I was sitting in a hospital in Melbourne after receiving the worst news of my life. I had absolutely no idea what I was supposed to do next. In complete shock and heartbreak, we called Phil — and from that very first phone call, everything changed. In the most gentle, calm and professional way, he guided me step by step through the entire process. He gave me clarity when I couldn’t think straight and reassurance when I felt completely lost. Everything was seamless. From arranging to bring Mum from Victoria to Tasmania, to sourcing a very specific casket that matched her desired aesthetic, to embracing our very untraditional vision for her celebration of life — nothing was out of reach and nothing was ever “too hard.” Every request was met with compassion and a genuine willingness to make it happen. Phil and Erin went above and beyond every expectation. They somehow made the hardest day of my life feel manageable, beautiful, and deeply meaningful. Their care didn’t feel transactional — it felt personal. It felt like they truly cared about honouring Mum in the exact way she deserved. Even 2.5 years on, Erin still checks in. That level of ongoing care and humanity is something you simply don’t come across often. It is unmatched. I will be forever grateful to Phil and Erin for what they did for me and my family. They truly care about what they do, and it shows in every single detail. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.

The care, compassion, communication and how flexible they were while my mum was in their care has been incredible. The warmth and ease was welcoming and so reassuring knowing that nothing was a problem. My.mum pre-planned her funeral years before and this made this very emotional time easier as we could breathe and just be to process. Thank you to Margie and Tracey for what you gave without knowing. My mum was in wonderful hands.. I highly recommend this amazing service.

Lethborg Family Funerals have made the process of saying goodbye to our loved one smooth and stress free. The process streamlined smoothly, with clear communication, compassion, and so much love. Thank you for absorbing the stress and for your assistance through every step of this process. Though our loved one is missed dearly, we feel truly blessed, and are gracious that the memories surrounding the funeral aren’t as heavy hearted.

From the moment we reached out to Lethborg, they handled our needs with the utmost respect and sensitivity. Kesni was compassionate and attentive, even going out of her way to meet us at the hospital. At the time, my father died interstate, it was a huge relief to have a funeral service that simplified this process. I am grateful to Kesni for her exceptional service and support.
