If your looking for the most caring people to care for a loved ones finally journey, this is the place. I recently lost my beautiful mum Elsie. They helped me immensely, not only for mum, but for our family. Kind, caring, gentle are just a few words that describe their care & help at a time when I was lost and very sad. I was given many hugs & kind words when there isn't much one can say. The loss of your mum or anyone very dear to you is the hardest road to travel. I cannot recommend Mareeba Community Funerals enough. Truly beautiful caring people. Thank you all for your help, hugs, words an absolute care. Xx

Our beautiful brother Bruce William Johnston from Speewah, Passed Away on 20th Nov. 2022. I would like to Thank most sincerely, Sophie who looked after us at Mareeba. Her kindness and sincere compassion helped us through a very sad and difficult time. As well, her attention to ensuring our wishes for the care of Bruce prior to his cremation service was deeply appreciated. Thank you Sophie, you are an Angel in disguise!

Thank you Sue, Much appreciated for doing this. Also a big thank you to both you and James for your guidance and professionalism in Fay's funeral arrangements. It's not an easy time when a close and much loved relative has died. Both Michael and I applaud the Community Funerals team in making our job so much easier during this difficult period. Kind regards, Lynda and Michael.
