What families say
Hayley Dee
Oct 2025We have experienced the passing of two family members within the past 12 months, and on both occasions we appointed William Farmer. I would like to sincerely thank Jesse, Megan, and the wonderful team for their compassionate and professional approach during such significant moments in our lives. Nothing was ever too much to ask — they were patient, informative, and showed genuine care and emotion throughout the process. It’s clear that this business is deeply committed to providing a compassionate yet efficient service, and above all, the way they care for the deceased shines through profoundly. I have no doubt that William Farmer will continue to serve their community with the same level of integrity and kindness. We are so grateful for the care you showed to our beloved grandparents.

Jan 2026The William Farmer Team made me feel at ease and in safe hands. I had to arrange my mother's funeral whilst living in Brisbane. They made everything seem effortless, guiding me all the way. All so kind, gentle and obliging. Thank you Becca. When I met Michael the celebrant it was like sitting down with an old friend. I felt he understood exactly what I was trying to convey. On the day of the funeral, he showed such warmth and compassion to my family and friends as did Alison and all the team. Your 24 hour/ 7 day a week service was extremely helpful for me. Thank you, we are forever grateful. Joy Holmes

Nov 2025Truely appreciate the support by all the staff involved, I was very overwhelmed with the thought of all the things we had to get done but with the team at William Farmer supporting us, from the first phone call they put me at ease and it was a very smooth experience. We had already used them in the past so I knew who to call when the time came which also helped a lot! I highly recommend, if you’re not sure who to choose, call them!! Thanks again team
