What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Coburg North families have come to associate Newlands Funerals with the steady, personal care its staff provide at a difficult time. A theme running through much of the feedback is the calm, patient manner of Robert Giammario, whose clear direction and willingness to listen helped households navigate decisions they found overwhelming. Reviewers often remark that arrangements were carried out with dignity and sensitivity, and that the funeral itself reflected the personal and cultural wishes of the person being farewelled.

An observation shared by more than one reviewer is the readiness of staff to answer questions and keep families informed, so that no one felt rushed or left in the dark. The wider team is also recognised, with Adrian and Kata both named in accounts, and Kata remembered for her assistance and for singing at a service. Sons and daughters who arranged funerals for a parent or grandparent describe occasions that felt respectful and true to the individual, and they speak warmly of practical matters being taken care of so the family could grieve together. That consistency of experience underlies the standing Newlands holds locally.

I want to sincerely thank Robert and the team for the incredible care and compassion he showed while arranging my mother’s funeral. During such a difficult time, he went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled with professionalism, kindness, and respect. Every detail was thoughtfully taken care of, and he made the entire process so much easier for our family. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and he truly went out of his way to ensure the service was beautiful and a fitting tribute to my mother. Their support, understanding, and attention to detail meant more to us than words can express. I’m so grateful for everything they did and would highly recommend them to anyone needing compassionate and exceptional service during such an emotional time.

During one of the most difficult times in our lives, Newlands Funeral showed incredible compassion, professionalism, and care. From our first conversation with Robert, we felt supported and understood. Every detail was handled with the right amount of grace and sensitivity, and he went above and beyond to ensure the service was exactly what we had hoped for—dignified, respectful, and deeply personal. Robert’s guidance through the process made everything feel a little less overwhelming, and his kindness will never be forgotten. We are truly grateful for the way he helped us honour our dad’s life.

Our family is very grateful with the way our dear mum’s funeral was handled by Kate from Newlands Funerals. We were guided with great care and sensitivity. Florist “Darkest Flower”was also wonderful to use that they recommend.

Thankyou to Robert Giammario & his team at Newlands Funerals for helping is through the funeral process. We had no idea where to begin and Robert walked us through each part, checking in regularly, ensuring we were okay & ticking off tasks on the checklist. Such a valuable support during a very difficult time. The professionalism, compassion & exceptional care shown to my family in honouring the person who was a husband, father, father-in-law, nonno & bisnonno & a pioneer in his field was exceptional. There was a connection there with Robert throughout the entire time. Robert coordinated with other professionals (church, funeral cars, video pre service, service live streaming & post service, printing mass booklets) which lightened the load for me. We are deeply grateful for your kindness and support throughout the entire process & the empathy shown particularly to my mother on the day of the funeral. A credit to you Robert for orchestrating a mammoth task on the day. The attention to detail was outstanding & it all went to plan. As my dad would've said- No. 1! Mary D'Angelo & Family
