Funeral Directors in
Ashburton
Formerly owned by Herbert King & Sons, the Ashburton funeral home and chapel, built in 1958, was one of the first purpose-built architect-designed funeral parlours erected in the Melbourne metropolitan area. Prior to this time it was much more common for funeral homes to be established within existing buildings.
Today, you can see the original windows on the Herbert King chapel complete with the 3 digit phone number which was used at the time. The Ashburton chapel, located on the corner of Warrigal road and Fakenham road has a standing capacity of 130 people, with seating for 80.

★★★★★
The team at Tobin Brothers East Burwood handled the funerals of both my parents beautifully and respectfully. You can organise funeral details or do clothing drop offs at any site which is handy if unable to attend the service site. We had priests as chosen by Tobin Brothers and they have been great. Had some light catering the second time around and the food was all delicious. Great option for a more personal experience. Thank you.
★★★★★
We could not have asked for better, the team at Tobin Brothers East Burwood were very helpful, caring and professional throughout the whole process. On the day of my Mother’s funeral we were more than comfortable with the support and assistance we received from the Tobin staff.
★★★★★
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.
