Family-Owned, Local, Independent Funeral Directors in Melbourne
Redwood Funerals offers compassionate and personalised care to families across Melbourne, the Mornington Peninsula, and regional Victoria. Our team is available 24/7 to guide you through every step.
To support families with compassion and understanding. For over 27 years, I’ve been privileged to care for families as a funeral director. Along the way, we realised something was missing—families deserved more personalised care. So, we started Redwood Funerals, a family-owned and operated service passionate about caring for families as we would our own.
"It’s a true calling, to help families at a time of need. We are strangers when we first meet and for families to trust in us to take care of their loved one is an honour and privilege."
We are an experienced team of individuals that come together as a team of professionals. We are well educated in supporting families from all religious and cultural backgrounds. Our funeral directors work closely with your family to ensure every ceremony is personal, respectful, and meaningful.
We help create funerals for all kinds of people with different beliefs and cultural backgrounds.
