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 💕

The team at Tobin Brothers Funerals Malvern provided a seamless experience for my Mother's funeral arrangements. Everything was so well organised and executed, just how my Mother would have wanted the day to go. Thank You!
★★★★★
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.

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.

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.
★★★★★
On behalf of my whole family I would like to thank the entire team at Tobin Brothers St Albans for taking care of my late father.
In such a difficult time the team took care of everything and I/we cannot thank them enough for it.
Sophie conducted the most beautiful service and I would highly recommend her to anyone!
Thank you so much!
Suman Family.

My family and I were so grateful for the kind and sensitive manner in which Tobin Brothers North Melbourne managed the funeral service for our daughter Meredith. Nothing was too much trouble whenever we had a request or a question. The entire service ran perfectly with no glitches. Stephen Tobin was always available for us and his advice was invaluable. I would highly recommend Tobin Brothers North Melbourne to anyone who may be in the sad position of having to organise the funeral service of a loved one.

On behalf of the Squillace family, we would like to thank Tobin Brothers North Melbourne for their excellent service. We could not have gotten thru this difficult time without your excellent service and attention to detail. Thank you.

My friend, Joan Hutchinson, prepaid for her funeral with Tobin Bros. in 1991. She paid $2391.00. for everything necessary—pickup limousine, coffin, cremation, viewing, clergyperson—like everything. She died on the 23rd of December 2024, cremated with service at Fawkner on 9 January 2025—95 years of age. All paid for back in 1991. Her surviving relative, Alex, her brother, was very chuffed that this firm had honoured their agreement to the full. We even had Cathy Tobin there.
★★★★★
A big thank you to Tobin Brothers and Mandy, who have promptly, professionally and compassionately made all the necessary arrangements for my late dear Mother's transfer from Melbourne to the Sunshine Coast for burial with her darling husband, my wonderful Father. Your reassurance, empathy and experience has been so important with this more complex interstate process. Very well done.
★★★★★
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 🤍

Words cannot express how deeply grateful we were to have Tobin Brothers hold my mother’s funeral. Everyone within the company was truly incredible. I especially want to thank Ricki who assisted us in the Dressing at Noble Park, it was such a sacred moment and she did beyond a wonderful job, her role was deeply appreciated and she carefully took us through the process in such a beautiful and considerate manner. It is something I’ll remember forever, so thank you deeply Ricki. Marie and Carol on the day along with Arthur were wonderful and also went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect - and it was. Our family is grateful for your attentiveness, care and support through the entire day and the process on the whole. Thank you again for making my Mother’s Day so special for us and for her.

From the moment we meet Julie on a Sunday morning, then Sharon, Celebrant, a few days later, I was confident every would go exactly as we wished. The music and photos were expertly done as was the printing and arrangement of Funeral Program.
Our arrangements at Springvale went to plan, nothing seemed too difficult for the “Tobin Team“ we had.
Very much appreciated,
- Helen Lockett

My family and I would like to express our gratitude and appreciation for the beautiful service that Hai-Anh organised and delivered for our father. Hai-Anh helped us organise a traditional Vietnamese Buddhist ceremony as well as an English service. Hai-Anh's compassion and empathy was felt throughout her service delivery, always ensuring that we had a say in the decision-making process. From the very moment we first spoke to Hai-Anh right until the end of the service, we felt we were always in good hands - this is very reassuring during such a difficult time of grieving. Thank you so much Hai-Anh! You made the process so seamless!
★★★★★
We recently had John Luu from Tobin Brothers, Noble Park assist us in organising our Father's funeral.
John was so professional and willing to assist in all aspects of the funeral that really made everything easy for us.
Thank you, John, and to all the staff at Tobin Brothers Noble Park.
★★★★★
A big thank you to Julie at Peter Tobin Funerals for helping us plan my dads funeral. Julie was so helpful, supportive and caring whilst we organised the funeral and a massive help on the day.
Thank you also to Michael Orchard, a wonderful celebrant who delivered a beautiful service. He spoke about my dad like he knew him.
Dad would have loved it!! ♥️

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.

What wonderful, caring and compassionate people to deal with in our hour of need. Nothing was too much trouble for mums memorial service planning. I would highly recommend Monika, Frances and the team at Tobin Brothers in Cheltenham. Jill
Thank you for everything you did for the Roberts Family, Aaron. It will never be forgotten.

I have used Tobin Brothers in Cheltenham on three occasions over the past few years and I have never come across a more compassionate, helpful firm in my life. Their local manager Mary couldn't do enough for myself and my siblings. She was just wonderful and so empathetic. Thank you for everything you did for the Roberts Family, Aaron. It will never be forgotten.
★★★★★
I cannot recommend Tony and his team highly enough. The care, respect and compassion shown to not only my mum and family when we lost dad but the total care and detail we know was given to dad is a credit to Tony. Our devastating time was eased with his respect, and nothing was a bother to him. Thank you again Tony Jones
★★★★★
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.
★★★★★
We held a funeral for my Mother on Friday at Tobin Brothers, Doncaster and cannot thank Tobins enough for their care and professionalism. If I could give them 10 stars, I would. We were supported through the entire decision-making process and never felt rushed. What could have been a stressful time, was made seamless, which meant we could focus on our feelings and memories of Mum. I highly recommend them to anyone going through this difficult time themselves. Look no further.
★★★★★
In 2023 we had our service for Nan at Tobin Brothers Doncaster. Michelle met with the family and helped us set up a celebration of life for Nan.
Who’d have thought a year later we would be back to see Michelle again, for my Dads celebration of life. Dad requested Tobin Brothers for his service, as he liked Nans Service and wanted his to be the same as hers.
Michelle is compassionate and helpful, and made the process for us very easy. Thank-you Tobin Brothers Doncaster, especially Michelle.
★★★★★
Simply Brilliant!
George and the team at Doncaster organised our Mum's farewell so well. Everything was done with meticulous care and attention.
Communication was very good and the service provided by the team on the day was excellent.
They maintained the Greek traditions and were respectful of all the requirements we had.
I highly recommend Tobin Brothers for a culturally based funeral or any other memorial service.
Thank you, George, Nick and all at Tobin Brothers Doncaster.
★★★★★
Exceptional service, from our consultant Emma Dufton, Catherine Kleynjan the
Tributes Consultant (media), Tom Tobin for his support prior to the viewing and steven Tobin for his support at the service, and all the team at Tobin brothers we dealt with, your service was absolutely perfect. We received our photo book on the day and everybody thought the service was beautiful. We cannot thank you enough! You have honoured the memory for our loved one and we will eternally grateful.
★★★★★
Tobin Bros Doncaster organised my husband's funeral and I can't speak highly enough of the service I received. Every staff member I dealt with was highly professional, caring and patient. Nothing was too much trouble. All costs were explained upfront, allowing me to make decisions that were right for me. The chapel itself is quite beautiful, with a lovely outlook on a courtyard garden, a fitting place to remember and reflect, especially when bathed in morning sunshine. They gently took me step by step through the process, without any sense of pressure or hard sell and I was able to give my husband a beautiful send-off. Thank you.
★★★★★
A truly wonderful funeral home that encouraged our family to do things ourselves, not spend a lot of money and looked after us with such care. I was so impressed by their immense knowledge and personal touch. The morticians are incredibly skilled, and I am so grateful for the beautiful work they did to momentarily let us see our loved one again.
Thank you everyone at Tobin Brothers Frankston.
★★★★★
Tobin Brothers made a difficult time as stress free as possible. This is the third family member who they have cared for and each time Tobin Brothers have provided a wonderful service. They didn't pressure me into expensive add ons and gave my husband an exceptional funeral at a price I could afford. I highly recommend Frankston Tobin Brothers.
Thank you everyone at Tobin Brothers Frankston.
★★★★★
I would highly recommend Tobin Brothers Glenroy to anyone going through the unfortunate process of organizing a funeral for a loved one. We went to them to organize a funeral for my father in Feb 2024 after his sudden passing. We had an immediate connection with our funeral director Shannon she was a blessing and made what was such a daunting and difficult time that much easier for me and my family. Our funeral celebrant David was very relateble and felt like a perfect fit for Dad's service. We cannot thank Shannon and all the team at Tobin Brothers enough for their help and support through the whole process. We will always remember the kind work they did for us and are comforted in knowing my father was well looked after and had a beautiful send off.
★★★★★
What a wonderful send off for my beloved mum, Joanne, I offer you my family's gratitude and love for sending mum off with style and grace, you have helped us like you were family, Ty with much kindness and gratitude Joanne
★★★★★
I cannot recommend Joanne at TB Glenroy enough. She made the pre plan process as smooth and comforting as possible. I am greatly appreciative for how she listened and offering helpful suggestions to reflect my mother's future wishes with her pre-paid funeral. A great employee. Thank you.
★★★★★
My Mother and I have said goodbye to my stepfather.
and didn't know what to do or who to turn to.
Went to Tobin's Glenroy and Joanne sat us down and calmly walked us through the process.
Nothing was a bother, and she explained everything so perfectly it all made sense.
would highly recommend Joanne she is an angel who came to our rescue.

Alana was who I spoke to initially at Tobin, she was most helpful and took the time to go over everything with me.
Tobin at Ringwood were fantastic, Sean was very caring and considerate they organised everything so beautifully and with such detail, even the funeral celebrant they suggested was terrific.
We ended up having the funeral at Tobin in Doncaster as Ringwood was unavailable the day we wanted. Tobin Doncaster team were also fantastic, such a beautiful chapel with the sun streaming through. Everything went so well on the day! Thank you so much.
★★★★★
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 had my fathers funeral on the 21/03/25 at Tobin Brothers-St Albans. From the time my father passed away at the nursing home on the 16/03/25 Tobin Brothers were amazing. My father passed away early hours of the morning & Tobin Brothers arrived to pick him up, they were so sympathetic/understanding to our whole family. The next day received a call from Tobin Brothers to come in on the Monday to arrange the necessary funeral & they just made it so memorable as we had purchased a prepaid funeral. They went through all the arrangements, music selection & how to assist in making my fathers Eulogy.
Tobin Brothers gave my father the dignity & respect he deserved on the day of his funeral.
Thank you to all the staff who provided a memorable, special day for my father & our family.
Thank you for all your compassion & understanding that you provided to our family.
You were all amazing, from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU.
★★★★★
Our family recently worked with the team at Tobin Brothers in St Albans for the funeral of our mother/grandmother and we cannot speak more highly of them. Brook and Fran were outstanding in their service and their assistance for our family during this difficult time. On the day our family felt supported and cared for, and most importantly we felt comfortable with them like they were old friends. The entire Tobin Brothers team from start to finish, including Walter, Kerrin, Carol, David D and Aldo were fantastic. We thank them deeply for their support.
★★★★★
Beautiful chapel. Very professional and accommodating staff. The chaplain that co ordinated and spoke was brilliant and along with VIP speakers from the Victoria Police Association made the service exactly what Dad would have wanted. Highly recommend.
★★★★★
As sad as they day was to say goodbye to our Dad, Tobin Brothers St Albans were absolutely amazing.
From the moment we met up with Helen she guided us through to create a service that my family were very proud of. Paul English was a true gentleman and made the day flow with ease.
We also used the service 20 plus years ago for our Mum and it was also brilliant back then.
Highly recommended 🙏❤️
★★★★★
I just wanted to say a very big thank you to Sharon, for the service that was held for Darren Martin, which was held yesterday Tuesday 25th of February 2025. The service was indeed very touching & will be remembered for many years to come. Also a huge thank you to the rest of the staff at Tobin Brothers Sunbury, who also helped with Darren’s funeral. 🌸 🌸🌸
★★★★★
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.
★★★★★
My Dad recently passed away, and I called a few Funeral Homes, until I spoke with Shannon at Tobin Bros Wodonga. Her kindness, compassion and care are nothing short of amazing. This lady is incredible. The sad process was made a little easier by having Shannon there. Her calls and updates, her humour, her tears, understanding, and her thoughtfulness make her so wonderful. I'm so glad that I called Tobin Bros, and met Shannon. She is an angel. I would highly recommend Tobin Bros, for service, quality, price, and above all compassion.
★★★★★
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.
★★★★★

★★★★★
We would like to thank Tobin Brothers Sunbury, for all of their help and support from start to finish during our terrible loss.
