About the company

Lester & Son Funeral Directors Albury was founded in 1907 by local undertakers and cabinetmakers Joe Trappold and Harry Lester. The company has been part of the Albury-Wodonga community for over a century. A purpose-built funeral home opened in North Albury in 2002, followed by a second location in Wodonga in 2015. In 2018, it became part of the InvoCare group.

The team supports families in both New South Wales and Victoria, and its members are local residents who know the region well. Services include funeral and memorial services, viewings, burial and cremation, and receptions and gatherings.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Lester & Son Funeral Directors is described by families in Albury as a funeral and cremation service built around individualised care. Reviewers repeatedly note the respect shown for particular wishes, with staff listening closely to family circumstances and explaining arrangements in clear terms. Named team members including Andrew, Tony, Nikita and Denys are credited with warmth and patience while guiding relatives through decisions. A recurring theme is the calm professionalism of the whole team, highlighted by one account in which a celebrant had to step aside at short notice and other staff took over smoothly.

Families mention the chapel and the gathering spaces as well-kept and fitting settings for grieving, and the handling of viewings is spoken of as respectful and considerate. One reviewer notes that a three-day turnaround was arranged after a request. Others describe services that reflected what relatives had pictured, with contact maintained in the days afterwards. The attention given to each family's own situation, from first discussions through to the funeral itself, is what reviewers return to most often.

Lester and Sons were very professional, caring and supportive when arranging the funeral for our mum. They guided us through the process, explaining things thoroughly but always considerate of our individual needs and requests. It made the planning and celebration of Mum’s life less stressful for us as a family. Thanks especially to Tony and Nikita.

We cannot thank Lester & Son enough for the kindness, compassion and professionalism they showed our family after losing Mum. From the very first meeting, they treated us with genuine warmth and care at a time when everything felt overwhelming. Even when our original funeral director was unexpectedly called away, the transition was seamless and every member of the team stepped in with empathy, calmness and incredible attention to detail. Nothing ever felt too hard and we always felt supported, listened to and cared for throughout the entire planning process. They helped us create a beautiful farewell for Mum with dignity, respect and such thoughtful guidance along the way. Our family will always be grateful for the care they showed not only to Mum, but to all of us. Thank you to the whole team at Lester & Son.

The family could not have been more impressed by the professionalism and support provided by Lester and Son. What an excellent facility for conducting a funeral. Plenty of room, off road parking and well laid out facility including online streaming of the service.

Had a really nice gentleman named Tony help me through the recent loss of my father. I had absolutely no idea what to do & I can't thank him enough for taking care of everything. I really appreciate you Tony! Thank you!

When my husband passed, it was the first time I had to make arrangements for a love one. From the moment they answered the phone, I was so relieved that with a few details they took care of the most important man in my life 💖 I can't tell you how much their care and attention to detail allowed me to make his service a beautiful celebration
