We couldn't have picked a better service for our mum's final farewell. From my first initial contact to Tobin Brothers and getting through to Jessica, who was a pleasure to deal with. Her kind compassionate service made us feel at ease.
Thank you to Jessica, Matt, Sharyn and the team on the day of mums funeral for going above and beyond for what was one of the most difficult days for our family.
We will always be grateful for the service provided for our beautiful mum. Thank you 🤍

Kind, compassionate and thoughtful.. right from the very start of having to go through this experience we found Tobin brothers made the task of having to organise a funeral slightly an easier task. From the moment our loved one was picked up, I knew he was in caring hands. Michelle, thank you for all your support and advice and for helping give our Chris the send off he wanted. The team who were in charge of dressing him, you were on point, and he looked like the Chris we remember. Thank you

We are so thankful that we entrusted dad into Tobin Brothers’ care.
They are a team of consummate professionals for whom nothing was too much trouble.
I most certainly recommend Tobin Brothers to anyone looking to arrange a funeral. They made it seamless.

Such caring and detail-oriented people who made our family's life easier as we made arrangements after my mother's sudden death. They were compassionate, had a clearly laid out menu of offerings and prices (we held the service at a local venue and they handled everything), and provided as much support as needed (e.g. the Tributes team was happy to answer all my geeky questions about photo resolution and so on so her photo memorial was just right), and they handled all the printing, webcast production (a lot of people attended remotely as Mum had friends and family all around the world), etc. The celebrant who they hired for the service was superb - caring, professional, dedicated enough time to get to know enough about my mother and talk through how to craft the order of service so the full picture of her life could be painted.
I've reached the age where other friends with elderly parents have asked what our experience with Tobin was, and I have unreservedly recommended them. You don't want to need their services, but when you do, Con and the team are there for you.

Yesterday we laid my Mother to rest. Aaron and the team at Tobin Brothers were simply exceptional. From their initial handshake to their last, it was an absolute pleasure.
Thank you for everything you did for the Roberts Family, Aaron. It will never be forgotten.

First impressions count and last impressions remain forever. Gina was the funeral planner for my brother's funeral. Gina was so kind and caring from our first contact with Tobin Brothers. The service we received was comprehensive. Paul Hooper was an awesome Celebrant.The Tribute Team excelled with the music and photos and the Remembrance Cards. We were given a USB stick with the service and the photos and a hard copy book of the photos also. The service was also Live Streamed. I recommend Tobin Brothers very highly.

Our family would like to thank all the staff at Tobin Brothers for your help and support through this difficult time. Everything you did for us to give Daniel the most beautiful send off was amazing. Gina was so caring and professional and celebrant Warren captured The essence of Daniel perfectly.

I wanted to thank you for the beautiful service you organised for my cousin Deryll. I am a funeral celebrant in Sydney and have heard so many good things about your organisation from my Victorian colleagues. The professional and compassion shown by your staff was not only comforting but it was obvious they truly cared about those attending (which hasn't always been my experience on occasion with other NSW organisations). I would highly recommend you to any families in your area. Thanks again. Sharon Swinbourne.

We were left devastated when my brother in law passed away unexpectedly, he had no funeral fund so we spoke to several different funeral homes. Tobin Bros was the most competitively priced and it in no way did it look like a budget funeral. We were treated with so much compassion and respect and nothing was an issue. We were offered an in house celebrant that conducted the service beautifully, he met with us before the funeral to get a feel for my brother in laws personality and life so that he could really personalise the service.
Nikita the young funeral director that looked after us has a maturity and natural compassion beyond her years, she was so beautiful, kind and caring. We were so grateful for the respect and care she had for us and our brother in law.
Highly recommend Tobin Brothers for anyone suffering bereavement and having to plan a funeral.
