About the company

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

On the Gold Coast, Somerville Funerals Southport is repeatedly described by families as a steady presence through the funeral process, from the initial call to the service and the period that follows. Named staff including Alison, Amanda, Sharron, Russ, Kris and Barney attract particular thanks, with several customers pointing to their compassion, patience and readiness to listen. Several accounts note how smoothly the day itself unfolded, with tributes that honoured the person who had died and, in one account, a memorial featuring caterers and audio-visual support coordinated by the team.

Something that features in review after review is the strength of communication before and after the funeral, including arrangements managed remotely for relatives living interstate. Many accounts note the attention to detail that went into personal tributes, and the reassurance of knowing assistance was easy to reach. The ability to have everything organised after a single meeting, so that family members simply attended on the day, is described as a relief. Families speak of being treated with dignity and respect throughout a difficult period.

Comfortable compassionate experience with Somerville Funerals and Alison. Very professional team who looked after my mum with a seamless process from start to finish. Always there to help and respond to any questions. Fantastic in-house chapel for the service. I highly recommend Somerville Funerals.

Alison and her entire team were beyond amazing from start to finish and we could not begin to explain how much this helped our family. Planning my mums funeral seemed incredibly daunting, but the love, care and compassion her and the team showed towards our family and making any and all of our requests happen, turned the service and organising it, into a celebration of my mums life. I am forever grateful to you and everyone else in the entire team, thank you. Much love Charl, André, Tyrrell and Mareli Nel

Thank you Alison for your caring, compassionate, and giving care. Such a beautiful touch as soon as the door at Sommerville Southport is opened for you. What a beautiful and warm feeling knowing you are supported by Alison and the team, and Barney just tops it off. The warmth and regard given was incredibly appreciated at such a difficult time in life. My heartfelt gratitude to all at Somerville, what a special team of people, nothing is rushed, and everything thought of and needed in a time of grief & loss. Bless you all for the gentle, caring work that you do. 🙏😇🦋

From the very first contact, the care and compassion shown by the entire team at Somerville funerals were truly exceptional, especially Amanda, who was our main point of contact during an incredibly difficult time. She provided not only professional guidance but genuine emotional support, ensuring that every detail was handled with dignity, respect and sensitivity. Nothing ever felt rushed or impersonal. Amanda took the time to listen understand our wishes and gently guided us every step with patience and kindness. What set Somerville Funerals apart was their willingness to go the extra mile in every possible way Amanda consistently anticipated our needs, accommodated special requests, and offered reassurance at exactly the right moments. Her attention to detail, calm presence, and thoughtful communication brought great comfort when we needed at most. It was clear there was a deep level of care for the families they serve and that empathy made all the difference. We felt supported throughout the entire process, knowing our loved one was in safe and respectful hands We are profoundly grateful for the compassion professionalism and care to our family and we would wholeheartedly recommend Somerville Funerals to anyone needing support during such a difficult time Rob Fuller and family
