So disappointed with how these guys handled the passing of my Dad. He'd been dead for 2 weeks before he was found and yet they still asked twice if I wanted an open casket as per their process/checklist. No consideration to individual circumstance. Steer well clear if these big funeral parlours...nothing personal about their operations even though they have a great speil to make you feel like they actually care.
My whole extended family and I wanted to say how amazing, professional, understanding and helpful Tobin Brothers funerals were for my Dad's funeral. We could not recommend them highly enough. Everything was exceptionally well organised and every box was ticked to make sure Dad had a great send off. The technology was awesome and family all around the world were able to join in with no issues. The celebrant did a memorable job as did all the staff. We could not fault one tiny detail. Everything was explained to us perfectly and everything they promised happened without fuss. At such a stressful time it was so great to have such professional helpful people take such a load off our shoulders and give Dad such an impressive last hoorah. Unfortunately we have dealt with several funeral directors over the last few years and Tobin Brothers (North Melbourne) were head and shoulders above the rest easily.
Nic was our funeral conductor who was very professional and had control over the complete burial which made it perfect.Thank you for everything and we couldn't have chosen a better place for my grandfathers funeral (Stancu)
Held dad’s funeral at Tobin Brothers North Melbourne and Hai Anh was our funeral director. The venue itself is simple and classic. Hai Anh was ever so helpful with all our questions and guiding our family around the ways of a traditional Buddhist funeral. The day went as smooth as it could go. Thank you Hai Anh and the staff at Tobin Brothers.
We recently worked with Tobin Brothers (our liaison was Michael) and our experience couldn’t have been better. Their care of the deceased by Kelsey and care of us by Michael was extremely high quality, I am so grateful considering the distances involved. Thank you Tobin Brothers 🙏
On behalf of my whole family I would like to thank the entire team at Tobin Brothers St Albans for taking care of my late father. In such a difficult time the team took care of everything and I/we cannot thank them enough for it. Sophie conducted the most beautiful service and I would highly recommend her to anyone! Thank you so much! Suman Family.
On behalf of the Squillace family, we would like to thank Tobin Brothers North Melbourne for their excellent service. We could not have gotten thru this difficult time without your excellent service and attention to detail. Thank you.
