Why Choose Us
What feels like a meaningful farewell for one family may look entirely different for another. That is why we see our role first and foremost as listening, and then helping to bring each family’s wishes to life. Too often, funeral services are shaped by a provider’s standard template rather than the personal choices of the family.
Our funeral directors bring extensive experience in every aspect of arranging funerals, and you can rely on our dedication to ensuring the service becomes a genuine and personal tribute to your loved one.
A Legacy of Compassionate Funeral Care
For generations, Mulqueen Family Funerals has been a trusted part of the Bendigo community, helping families create unique, meaningful, and memorable farewells for their loved ones. Our story is one of care, tradition, and dedication, built on strong family values and a commitment to serving others with dignity and compassion.
Our beginnings date back to 1853, when Thomas Abell established a carpentry and undertaking business in Bendigo, Bridge Street. Just two years later, the business was relocated to the corner of Bridge and Cemetery Streets, overlooking the original Sandhurst Burial Grounds.
Today, the Mulqueen continues to be involved, offering compassionate care, professional guidance, and a deep respect for every family we serve. With more than 170 years of history behind us, Mulqueen Family Funerals remains dedicated to supporting the Bendigo community with the same values that have guided us since the very beginning.
