Karyn and the staff at Mulqueen went above and beyond to organise my uncle's funeral, release of his body from the coroner's office, and cremation, all within one week. They even helped organise a celebrant and helped cover the costs with the TAC, as my uncle died on the road. Throughout the whole process they were so compassionate and caring, and made everything as easy as possible for me during a really tough time. I would recommend Mulqueen to anyone in Bendigo going through a loss.
I recently used Mulqueen in Bendigo and I couldn't be more grateful that I chose them. Sally and the team were FANTASTIC!!! It was so hard losing my mother unexpectedly and if it weren't for the compassion, empathy and professionalism I received from the entire team I would not have known where to begin and how to cope. And the gentlemen who came to collect mum- thank u for keeping her dignity and being very respectful. The team helped with literally everything and took a huge burden off my father and my shoulders. I highly recommend them to anybody unfortunant enough to need them as they were lovely people who made everything I requested happen and no dramas at all.
“The staff were compassionate, patient, and incredibly supportive during a very difficult time. They communicated clearly, handled every detail with care, and treated our family and our loved one with genuine respect. Their professionalism and kindness made an overwhelming process much easier.” A special thankyou to Jess and Karyn for the care of our mum and brother. Jan Ridsdale
Special fond memories of Mary from the 1950's when we were in St. Liborius Parish in the choir for her dedicated many years as organist. Liesbeth and Rijken Family
We recently used Mulqueens for the second time and it was again such a professional experience thanks to Jess who made an emotional time very special. From the first meeting to the end of the service we would like to thank Jess for her care and attention to detail, it was much appreciated.
The live stream was well done, claer audible and the camera moved to follow the coffin out of the church and capture all that attended as they left. Interstae mourners were specifically acknowlwdged. respectful throughout.
Thank you Mulqueen Family Funeral service for the smooth and beautiful send off my Dad, Pat McMahon had yesterday, absolutely magnificent efforts from start to finish. 🙏
