Tobin Brothers Ringwood by far exceeded my expectations. Right from the beginning, they did everything to make me feel comfortable and valued. The service was perfectly facilitated right down to the finest detail and I felt Mum's life was truly honoured and celebrated. I can strongly recommend TB Ringwood from start to finish and I doubt any other could exceed their high standard of service and care.
Thank you TB Ringwood 💕

From the time our father passed away to his funeral, Tobin Brothers in East Burwood were fantastic. A big thank you to Judith the funeral planner, Veronica the Celebrant, Mary Anne who looked after us at dads funeral and the team on the day. It went very smoothly and the guests loved the venue and food.

Michelle and the team at Tobin Brothers Burwood organised the funeral for our father who passed away this week. Michelle was beautiful and made the process completely stress free. Thankfully we don't have to organise a funeral every week, but if I did I would use these guys! Highly recommended.
