Brisbane Funeral Directors

"I would wholeheartedly recommend Robin and the team from Academy Funerals for a personalised service to farewell your loved ones.Robin patiently supported us through my father's recent funeral. He went above and beyond our expectations. Any time we had a question, Robin would contact us promptly with an answer. Even though this was a terribly sad time, the experience was made easier due to his caring and compassionate nature. Thanks again for everything you did Robin!"

Our family could not have been more pleased with the caring manner and professionalism of Ashley from Academy Funerals and his funeral celebrant, Rosswell Hannah. Right from the start they assisted the family with planning our father's funeral, were always available to answer the many questions we had which resulted in a perfect send off for dad. My dad would have been chuffed with how it all went. Just a great day. Thank you.

I highly recommend Robin and the team from Academy Funerals. Arranging to rest a loved one was a very emotional and sad experience. Robin made the whole process easy under the circumstances. He was attentive, compassionate and helpful. He was accommodating to our needs and made sure that they were met. These acts of kindness with personal touch certainly leave positive impressions. Thank you so much!

Academy Funerals went above and beyond to assist me and my family after my father passed away. Ashely in particular was very helpful. Nothing was ever an issue for him and he was always available to help. Even after Ashley's services were complete, he was still willing and able to assist me with ongoing requests that I had.I couldn't speak more highly of the team at Academy Funerals and would certainly recommend them to anyone who has the daunting task of arranging a funeral for a loved one.

Ashley and the team at Academy Funerals have helped our family now twice in the past 12 months. We wanted private cremations and simple Memorial Services that we could conduct ourselves. Ashley guided us through the process each time, so we were able to have dignified yet affordable services, without all the excesses and hidden costs of so many larger funeral businesses. Academy Funerals are a beacon of hope where you can find a small caring and compassionate family company that will help you do things as you want, in a way that suits your family, and ensure the farewell to your loved one will be dignified and affordable.

I cannot recommend the team at Academy Funerals highly enough. Ashley, Norma and Robin were extremely professional and compassionate. Every detail was explained and managed perfectly by them and they made navigating the difficult process seem straightforward. Dealing with a smaller independent funeral company and a team with their breadth of experience was a breath of fresh air in an industry where large corporations seem to dominate. My mother's send off was truly beautiful. Thank you so much!

We truly can’t thank Ashley and Robin enough for helping us navigate through the most difficult time of our father’s death.They were so incredibly professional, and so compassionate throughout. When I first made contact with Academy Funerals, I had absolutely no idea on what we were even looking for in a funeral, but Ashley answered every single one of my questions with grace and knowledge.Unfortunately, mum wasn’t in the country when dad died, but Academy Funerals was able to provide us with ample time for viewing him at no extra cost which gave mum so much peace of mind.Ashley hired the most perfect celebrant for dad, Peter McCarthy, and together, they were able to provide us with the absolute perfect sendoff that I am sure dad would have loved. Thank you for what you did for our family.

I can’t thank Academy Funerals enough for their support with my grandfathers funeral. From my very first enquiry Robin was caring, compassionate, responsive and helpful. He made what would otherwise have been an overwhelming process very smooth. Robin listened to what we wanted and, step by step, helped piece it together. From recommending the perfect celebrant, to the personal touches that he suggested just by listening to us talk, as well as moving us easily through all of the administrative necessities that are not top of mind for families but just have to be done. Thank you Robin.

Look no further. Highly commendable all round.When looking for a company that could carry out my Grandads service I had no-idea what I was looking for or where to start. With no prior funeral plans or arrangements, I was left with no other option but to google search ‘lawnton undertaker’ at my Grandad’s wish. I wished him to be close to his home of 50 years. It was meant to be.I was blessed to work alongside Robin who I cannot thank enough. No better fit. The level of calibre and devotion Robin displays in the particular choice of profession is rather exceeding.In the time my Grandad was in the care of Academy, I was able to process through my grievance by being able to spend time with my Grandad. Time/s, no limit. These moments to me were the ones I’ll cherish the most, so personal, so meaningful and I truly believe if any other funeral home I would not have received the care, compassion, kind, and empathetic people I would have in those heartbreaking moments of my life.From the very moment I had to make one of the hardest phone calls of my life, Robin understood where I was at, the vision I had, and together, with so many tiny little aspects, people and layers we all ended up creating the most wonderful celebration of my Grandad’s life.What a blessing for your service, Academy Funerals!Thank-you again, for helping me peacefully lay my Grandad to rest, the way he deserved. Forever grateful to have found your business in those times of need.
