What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Coffs Harbour families have turned to Victor Rullis Funerals for both funeral direction and cremation, and the feedback left behind describes a service built on patience and genuine warmth. Reviewers frequently highlight how the team listened carefully and ensured that every part of the arrangement felt personal, with Victor himself named for his willingness to accommodate even the smallest wishes, whether planning ahead in hospital or finalising details after a death. The mortician and other staff are praised for giving relatives space to grieve while remaining close at hand, and for guiding the family through each step so that nothing felt overwhelming.

Several accounts mention that the day itself ran without friction, including the coordination of a priest, an RSL dedication, a eulogy and a reflections video. The care taken with the burial of a stillborn son, and the particular kindness shown by Christy, stands out as a deeply felt experience. What recurs across the feedback is a sense of dignity and sincerity, and the ease with which the team handled decisions at a painful time, so that farewells felt meaningful and true to the person being honoured.

I recently lost my beautiful wife who passed away very suddenly and unexpectedly. I was totally at a loss of what to do regarding funeral arrangements for my wife and dealing with everything else required at this time, who to contact, while grieving the loss of my wife. Contacting Victor Rullis and his team was the shining light I needed to be able to move forward. Their advice and help allowed me to say goodbye to my wife in a special way and provided myself and daughter a happy and loving memory to treasure by providing a beautiful and peaceful funeral service. The chapel service was beautiful and peaceful and the setting at Coffs Harbour Crematorium was perfect on the day. Victor and all his staff are extremely caring, professional and helpful and helped me provide my wife with a perfect final wish.

Victor and his entire team were extremely professional, kind, caring and handled all aspects of my Mums funeral promptly. We felt so supported and heard and as a result Mums farewell was tailored perfectly to the person Mum was. I highly recommend these funeral directors to anyone. They have the staff with all the skills and thoughtful connection with the whole family to add to your tribute or celebration of your loved one. Every aspect felt personally tailored to Mum and we will be forever grateful that we chose this company to help us through this most difficult time. God bless each and every one of your team from our whole family. The MacAndrew Family

We used Victor and his team for our dad’s funeral recently and found them to be very friendly and professional during such a difficult time. They made everything easy for us and explained the process the whole way. I would definitely recommend Victor Rullis to anyone needing to navigate the funeral process and isn’t sure where to start.

Dear Victor, Sammie and the entire team, I wanted to take a moment to sincerely thank you all for everything you have done for our family during one of the most difficult times of our lives. The service you provided for Dad was beyond anything we could have hoped for. Since the funeral, so many people have reached out to me personally to tell me how beautiful, heartfelt, and love-filled the service was. I've had countless people say that, of all the funerals they have attended, Dad's was by far one of the most genuine and meaningful. What stood out to so many people was not just the professionalism, but the compassion. It was clear to everyone present that you truly cared. We never once felt like we were simply arranging a service or completing a transaction. We felt supported, guided and cared for every step of the way. Entrusting Dad into your care was one of the easiest decisions we made, and seeing the way you honoured him only confirmed that we had made the right choice. The kindness, patience and respect shown by you all brought enormous comfort to our family at a time when we needed it most. It is easy to see why your reputation is held in such high regard. The difference between a funeral home that simply provides a service and one that genuinely cares for families is immeasurable, and you embody that difference in every way. While I say this with all the love and respect in the world, I truly hope we don't need your services again anytime soon. But when that day comes, we would not hesitate to place our trust in you again. Until then, please know that our family will continue to speak highly of you and recommend you to anyone wanting their loved one cared for with genuine compassion, dignity, and heart. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for helping us give Dad the beautiful farewell he deserved. With sincere gratitude, Koby and family ❤️

I feel my Mother received the best care,respect and sincerity from Victor Rullis and associates,from when they visited her in hospital and understood her wishes to conducting her funeral. They happily accommodated all requests I made and I feel Mum had her final send off with dignity and finesse. The funeral truly reflected her life well lived. Thank you to Victor Rullis and associates with all my heart.❤️
