What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Families arranging funerals for parents, siblings and grandparents in Brunswick have repeatedly described Victoria Funerals as attentive and compassionate throughout the process. Several customers mention the care shown by Kosta, Chris and Loukia, noting their patience, warmth and professionalism when guiding relatives through decisions about burial services, viewings and funeral arrangements.

Reviewers frequently highlight clear and timely communication before and after the service, with one family commenting that every staff member they dealt with offered support and genuine kindness, including the personal driver on the day. A theme running through the feedback is the flexible, accommodating approach taken to each family's wishes, whether a traditional Greek Orthodox funeral or a service with a celebrant suggested by the funeral home. The quality of the premises used for viewings and the smooth organisation of the funeral day itself are also noted, alongside the advice provided on coffins and preparations.

Many families describe every detail being handled with dignity and respect, and the team remaining responsive to individual circumstances and communication preferences. Gratitude for the way difficult family dynamics were managed and for the sensitive handling of farewells for a mother, father, uncle and brother runs through the accounts. The consistent thread is the kindness shown by named staff and the sense that nothing was too much trouble.

Victoria Funerals organised the funeral of my brother and were totally brilliant. Loukia has a lovely mix of professionalism, compassion and warmth. Every detail was perfect and they were flexible and accommodating. The celebrant they recommended was perfect for us. I can’t thank them enough for making a very difficult time so much easier for us, we are very grateful to Loukia and the team there x

I just wanted to thank everyone at Victoria funerals for their assistance and care with my uncle's funeral. A special thank you to Loukia who showed a great deal of patience and respect and to her assistance on the day of the funeral to make sure close family were given every consideration possible.

I cannot express enough how grateful our family is to Victoria Funerals for the exceptional care and service they provided during my father’s viewing and funeral last week. From start to finish, the communication was clear, compassionate, and timely. Every staff member we interacted with went above and beyond, offering support, professionalism, and genuine kindness. Even the personal driver was thoughtful and considerate. It truly felt like our family was in the best hands possible, and we couldn’t have chosen a better company to handle such an important moment. Thank you, Victoria Funerals, for making this difficult time a little easier.

Thank you to Victoria Funerals for the burial service of my mother today. I specifically dealt with Chris and he was on the ball with everything and attentive to my means of communication at all times. He handled my family’s dysfunctionalities very well and guided me throughout this process. Very thankful for your services and would highly recommend it to anyone else in need. 🙏
