“After interviews with several local Funeral Directors; Mum and l met with Russell Brothers Mentone. Gary instantly made us feel he was going to help us create a wonderful funeral for our dear Dad. Gary and Geoff were wonderful to deal with and they were willing to cater to our every need and took on as many tasks necessary to ease our load. (The quoted price was extremely competitive given the cost of funerals) The communication was constant and consistent so that we knew we were in good hands the whole way through. The day went to plan and was a wonderful farewell to Dad. Thx to Geoff, Holly and Gary ❤️💕❤️💕❤️ I would highly recommend Russell Brothers Mentone for meeting your needs 🙏🙏🙏”
Julianne O'ReillyApril 2025“We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to you for your kindness and professionalism during the handling of our father's private cremation.

It was a great comfort to our family and we will always remember your thoughtful assistance.”
