What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Arrangements for funerals, burials and cremations form the core of this family-run Nowra business, and the care taken across those services is what customers return to again and again in their accounts. More than one review highlights the patience and clarity with which staff explain each component, from the first family meeting onwards, so that decisions about coffins, chapel arrangements and the order of service feel manageable rather than overwhelming. Craig is singled out for walking families through every option and explaining costs as choices are made, while Grant is named for officiating with warmth and dignity and for handling the day itself respectfully.

An aspect raised across a number of reviews is the sensitivity shown towards the deceased, with dignity and respect noted alongside the reassurance offered to relatives in the days surrounding the service. Several accounts highlight personal touches that followed, including a commemorative book of shared photographs and flowers delivered on the first anniversary of a death. The team is described as faultless in coordinating arrangements, present and supportive on the day, and quick to resolve questions, with ongoing contact after the funeral valued by families. Tributes and montages were prepared exactly as relatives wished.

Saying goodbye to my beloved husband and the wonderful father of our daughters is the hardest thing our family has ever had to do, but from our first meeting with Murphy's, we knew he was in the best possible hands. When we met the team, we were treated with genuine compassion, kindness, and understanding. They cared for my husband with the upmost care, dignity and respect, while providing our family with patience, guidance and reassurance throughout every stage of the arrangement process. Their kind approach helped ease an incredibly difficult time and gave us comfort when we needed it most. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of and communication was clear, timely, and supportive, which gave us comfort during such an emotional time. The professionalism of the entire team was matched by their warmth and empathy. They honoured my husband's life with dignity and respect, ensuring every detail reflected the love and admiration he inspired. The Murphy's team helped us create a beautiful farewell for him, that we will cherish. Our heartfelt thanks to everyone involved. Your compassion, professionalism, thoughtful attention to every detail, and genuine kindness was exactly what our family needed during the most difficult time of our lives. We would not hesitate to recommend your services to anyone seeking exceptional support and care when honouring their loved one ❤️

Friends have had a good experience here with the professionalism of the staff assisting with the service. I thought I would enquire for my own families needs, however I felt a little strange when I saw a female worker walking around in medical scrubs. I realise this might happen, however was not very professional and upsetting for my poor mother.

Two weeks ago my Brother and I walked in to the office of Murphy Family Funerals not knowing where to start after the sudden passing of our Father. This afternoon I walked out of what was probably the nicest funeral service I've ever attended. The Murphy team were so supportive and great to work with at this difficult time.

We cannot thank Murphy’s Family Funerals enough for the care, compassion and professionalism they showed our family during such a difficult time. From the very first phone call, they treated us with genuine warmth and respect, guiding us through every step with patience and understanding. Nothing was ever too much trouble. Every detail was handled beautifully and seamlessly, allowing us to focus on honouring our loved one rather than worrying about logistics. Their communication was clear, kind and reassuring throughout the entire process. What truly stood out was the personal touch — they took the time to really listen and helped create a service that felt meaningful, dignified and perfectly reflective of the life we were celebrating. In one of life’s hardest moments, Craig and His team at Murphy’s Family Funerals brought calm, grace and heartfelt care. We are incredibly grateful and would highly recommend them to any family needing guidance through one of the hardest parts of life.
