Welcome to Russell Brothers

Thank you for placing your trust in us at this time. Please be assured that it is in safe hands.

Australians of all faiths, ethnicity and backgrounds have trusted us over decades to help and support them when a family member has passed on. You are free to see letters of appreciation from hundreds of them at our office; letters freely sent, not solicited. You will notice frequent references to care, consideration, personal attention and our response to individual needs.

“We appreciated your kindness and gentleness to us at this time. God bless you,” wrote Mr and Mrs Moodie, of Moorabbin. Mr and Mrs Moodie expected the very best service we could give them — as they had every right to do.

They received the best, and so will you — sincere personal, caring attention.

Another proof of the quality of our service is our full support for and implementation of the Victorian Independent Funeral Directors Association’s Code of Ethics.

For us, as for you, this funeral is a deeply personal and individual event. It is your event, so please feel free to tell us exactly what you want and how you want it conducted, and test the lengths to which we will go to translate your wishes into reality.

We want you to be able to reflect, the day of the funeral, the day after the funeral, ten years later, that it was right, it was fitting, it was well done.

Our many years of experience in the field mean we can draw in a wide range of resources to help you make the funeral very individual indeed. Our attention to detail and our dedication to the highest levels of professional, personal service means we are with you every step of the way so that it all happens smoothly and without fuss and stress on you.

Our Chapel, car fleet and facilities are at your disposal but we can arrange services or celebrations at any Church, Chapel, Temple or other place of worship of your choice, at the cemetery or crematorium, on a cliff top, in a mountain valley or at sea. As I said earlier, just tell us what you really want.

Please call us at any time to talk about how we can help you.

Thank you for the opportunity to introduce ourselves to you. Now I would like to invite you to see extracts from letters from our clients, the VIFD’s Code of Ethics, some proformas to help smooth the process, and details of elements of pricing.

A word about prices. Note that your Russell Brothers quote in this web site includes every cost associated with the funeral we discussed. There is nothing more to pay. Beware of quotes that do not include some costs, including burial, cremation, certificates, etc. These can add several thousand dollars to the final bill.

Yours sincerely

Geoffrey D. Russell, J.P.
Director
