What families say
Donna Simcox
Oct 2025Ashley and the team at Academy Funerals were fantastic. Their patience and compassion for the passing of our mother was so greatly appreciated. Their care for our mum was evident. It didn’t matter what time of day it was Ashley was always willing to open the doors to let us have that one last moment with mum. The flower arrangement was beautiful and she look radiant and peaceful in her eternal resting bed. Thank you so much Ashley. We truly appreciate all that you have done for us.

Feb 2026Ashley was a great help to myself and the family during the recent passing of my sister. He was caring and sensitive and very accommodating. He helped us keep funeral costs low with recommendations and examples. My only negative was the flowers that I ordered. My sister's favourite colour was yellow, and I ordered a bouquet that was all yellow and white. When the day came however, we had a bouquet of multiple colours. I didn't say anything because they were absolutely beautiful, and it was too late to change them. There was no point in complaint. I would highly recommend Ashley if you are wanting a reasonably priced funeral with efficient, respectful and compassionate care takers.

Jan 2026We are extremely grateful to Academy Funerals for their outstanding service during such a difficult time. They were punctual, reliable, and very compassionate, always getting back to us quickly whenever we had questions. Everything was handled with care and personalised to our needs, which meant so much to our family. A special thank you to Ashley, who made the process much simpler by coming to our home, completing all the paperwork with us, and patiently showing us all the photos and options. This personal touch truly eased our stress and brought us comfort. We are so glad we chose Academy Funerals and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a professional, caring, and supportive funeral service.

Jan 2026It's never easy saying goodbye to a love one but Ashley from Academy Funerals did a wonderful job taking care of my husband. He made the process as smooth as possible (open and clear communication) and stress free for my family and I. I am truly thankful for his prompt responses and the care he gives especially during this difficult time. I would highly recommend Ashley and his team.

Jan 2026I cannot speak highly enough of Academy Funerals at Lawnton. From start to finish, Ashley Bergh and his team took care of absolutely everything during an incredibly difficult time for our family. Dad travelled from New Zealand to Brisbane for a holiday and sadly passed away suddenly in Brisbane from cancer. Ashley and his team handled the entire process with compassion, professionalism, and care — from arranging the funeral service here in Australia, to organising Dad’s international transfer from Australia back to New Zealand. They also assisted with coordinating the New Zealand funeral directors, making what could have been an overwhelming process feel manageable and supported every step of the way. In addition to all of this, they also specialised in cultural processes, which further streamlined the task at hand, and provided much needed reassurance. Nothing was too much trouble, communication was clear and available 24/7, and we always felt that Dad was treated with dignity and respect. The team was fantastic, and we are deeply grateful for everything they did for our family. I highly recommend Academy Funerals Lawnton. Thanks Ashley and team! Haydn- Brisbane
