About Peter Tobin Funerals

Peter Tobin Funerals is a family business which started in 1948 when Noel Tobin relocated his Maryborough funeral business to Ballarat. 

Noel’s son Peter and his wife Faye took over once Noel retired in 1971, and in 1987 their daughter Paula joined the family business.

Tobin Brothers has been proud to carry on the family traditions and values of Peter Tobin Funerals since 2020.  

Today, branch manager Julie Allen, supported by a team of local staff, proudly serve Ballarat and the surrounding district in their time of need.

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.
