About the company

WN Bull Funerals was founded in 1892 and has held a long-standing role in State Funerals for New South Wales. Ownership of the business transitioned to InvoCare in 2010.

The funeral home's Newtown chapel retains its original Art Deco architectural features and seats 50 guests, with standing room for an additional 10. Live-streaming of services is available through partner OneRoom, and services offered include burial and cremation. The business serves families in Newtown, Enmore, St Peters, Erskineville, Camperdown, Eveleigh and surrounding suburbs.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Newtown families entrusting this funeral director with arrangements for a parent, a spouse or another loved one have recorded consistently positive experiences, praising the professionalism and compassion shown from first contact through to the graveside. The guidance of consultant Pauly Earthing is singled out, particularly for accommodating particular cultural and religious needs at a ceremony held at Castlebrook Memorial. Mark earns recognition for the caring, responsive manner in which he managed proceedings on the day, Sharna for friendly assistance with paperwork and arrangements following a sudden death, and Claudia, Marissa and Frank as a cohesive team whose steady communication kept relatives informed at each stage.

Reviewers repeatedly note the respectful handling of a viewing and the sensitivity of staff, who are described as attentive yet unobtrusive. Several customers also highlight the firm's experience with Catholic funerals, which mattered greatly to one family. Appreciation extends to the support given to those providing live streaming, photography and audio-visual coverage of services. Minor issues, where mentioned, are said to have been resolved quietly behind the scenes, leaving families free to focus on honouring the deceased.

We had superb service and advice from the team at WN Bull and can't recommend them highly enough. The funeral service for my mother was beautifully handled at all stages of the process. All team members were caring and understanding at all times.

We met or contacted two other funeral directors before we found Mr Pauly Earthing, Your Funeral Consultant at WN Bull Funerals at Newtown. In contrast to the previous two, we decided to go with Pauly straight away becuase he provided us with an excellent customer service in our most difficult situation. Pauly went many extra miles to accommodate our specific cultural and religious requirements for the funeral ceremony held at Castlebrook Memorial Park Rouse Hill, NSW. His genuine empathy, professional and friendly nature gave us a real comfort we needed from a Funeral Director. Pauly's warm and flexible customer service truly exceeded our expectations. We are very happy to recommend Pauly Earthing and WN Bull to anyone who is looking for a stress-free, professional and high-class funeral service for their loved ones.

My family and I are very grateful to WN Bull Funerals for their professional and compassionate service. They helped us arrange a beautiful and personalised funeral for my mother, who passed away earlier this month. They were very attentive to our needs and preferences, and they handled everything with care and respect. They also specialise in Catholic funerals, which was important for our family. They accomadated us with all our requests and provided an extra service at their Newtown chapel. They also provided little touches that personalised our tribute. We highly recommend WN Bull Funerals to anyone who is looking for a reliable and caring funeral director. Thank you, WN Bull Funerals, for exceeding our expectations once again, and making this difficult time easier and comforting for us.
