About the company

Turnbull Funerals has been helping Tasmanians say goodbye since 1936, supporting Hobart families for more than 90 years. It operates as part of InvoCare Australia Pty Ltd.

The North Hobart funeral home has two chapels, a larger one accommodating 260+ guests and a smaller, more intimate chapel, along with two arrangement rooms for families to meet and plan services. It supports families from all cultural, religious and non-religious backgrounds and offers burial and cremation services.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Compassionate, unhurried guidance through every stage of arrangement is the theme that runs through accounts of this North Hobart funeral director. Families repeatedly describe being treated with dignity and grace from the first call onwards, with staff such as Jarrod, Carolyn, Danielle Conlan and Rachel singled out for their warmth, patience and willingness to listen to what each family wanted. Several reviewers note that a loved one was collected promptly after passing, and that the same gentle support continued through the cremation and the service itself.

The venue's light-filled space and acoustics are mentioned as fitting for ceremonies, while the follow-up contact in the weeks afterwards is remembered as a mark of genuine care rather than obligation. Attention to detail, clear explanation of the options available and a responsive approach to requests appear again and again, including from relatives overseas who could not travel and felt their needs were understood. Even where the loss was sudden or doubly painful, the consistent picture is of a team that accommodated individual wishes without fuss, allowing families to focus on farewells rather than logistics, and it is this steadiness that reviewers return to when describing their experience.

Rachel, You're survey is not very intuitive. I was trying to think of the appropriate comments to your outstanding care, when the survey timed out. Rachel, I do not believe, that you could have chosen a more worthwhile profession. Its not just the normal kind words or gestures you demonstrate, its a greater awareness of what a specific individual needs. You are kindness personified, you are compassionate, but above all, you were engaging with me. Thank you so very much Rachel ❤

Given the heart break of the situation, Turnbull’s could not have been kinder or more gentle. Everything was just as I had requested.

From the first call to Turnbulls re mums death, to the check in phone call a couple of weeks after the funeral, we could not have wished for better care. Jarrod was able to collect mum within a couple of hours of passing. Mum was treated with absolute grace and dignity throughout. Jarrod supported and guided our family gently through all options, was there for the cremation to support us, and then for the funeral. The heartfelt compassion, care, and professionalism shown to our family was outstanding. We look back at this time now with sincere gratitude for making such a sad time into a smooth and stress-free, supported occassion. Mum would be well chuffed (pleased) with it. Sincerest thanks to Jarrod and Turnbull staff.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Simply perfect! My family recently farwelled a dearly loved family member and we asked Turnbulls to help us. Carolyn and the remainder of the Turnbulls team were brilliant. They were warm, accommodating and hight responsive every step of the way. Nothing was too much trouble. We were in no doubt that we were working with very experienced and caring professionals. They're a credit to their industry and our family thanks them for helping ensure the service went exactly how we wanted.
