Healthier, Cheaper, Happier Living
Burke & Douglas Funerals is a proudly Australian-owned and operated business that has been serving the Tamworth community since 1986. We are a member of the Propel Funeral Partners network, which extends across all states of Australia, the Australian Capital Territory, and New Zealand. As one of the largest providers of funeral and related services in Australia and New Zealand, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of compassionate service and care.
Our business was formed in 2019, when two of Tamworth's oldest funeral homes merged together to create one large firm dedicated to caring for our community. We are proud to boast the most caring, understanding, and sympathetic staff, who will carry out the wishes of our clients to the best of their ability. We understand that we only get one chance to carry out the wishes of each client, which is why we attend to every arrangement and funeral in detail, treating all our deceased with the utmost dignity and privacy, as though they were family.
At Burke & Douglas Funerals, we are a member of the Australian Funeral Directors Association, an association that has represented professional funeral directors throughout Australia since 1935. The Australian Funeral Directors Association requires its members to abide by a code of ethics, designed to ensure quality premises, facilities, and professional staff, thus ensuring the public a high standard of service. Our mortuary care is of the highest standard, and we are completely open to all our customers, guiding them through the arranging process and informing them of costs and options involved.
