Newcastle Funerals & Cremations

I just want to give a big heart felt thank you to Jarred and the team at JAMES MURRAY FUNERALS .Their compassion and sincerity they expressed to us through the complete process from taking my beloved father into care to the burial was handled with utmost dignity.
Nothing was too much trouble at all for your team.Tending to my sister who is mainly wheelchair bound and accommodating her needs at the service and at the burial site. You also ensured the remainder of us were comfortable by arranging seating and refreshment at the interment of both my Mum and Dad.
We also wish to thank Murrays for the arrangement of a celebrant .Greg Colby presided over the service and I know that my father would have loved it.Greg had us laughing at such a sombre time with a couple of jokes and light hearted comments which were greatly received.Dad would have been delighted to know that Greg was a former minister who performed the ceremony.My father always had a strong religious background and belief and having Greg fulfil this duty was only fitting.
We also extend our gratitude to the wonderful lady who catered the wake .The beautiful array of sandwiches and cakes were well received by all who attended,particularly our granddaughter.She was so kind to box the leftovers up and distribute between our family.
A final thank you to Jarred's offsider at the cemetery who helped ever so much with the pall bearers and his friendliness to all who attended the interment.
Thank you so much again Murray's Funerals for helping us through the grieving process with your endless compassion and extended sincerity.

Jarred and his team went above and beyond with our funeral for our dad. Nothing was any trouble, quick in responding to questions we had, very professional and understanding team. We can’t praise them enough for their efforts. Would have no hesitation in recommending to anyone.

I would like to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to James Murray Funerals, especially to Mac and Brodie. From the moment I called to inform them of my darling mother's passing, they were nothing short of professional and compassionate. Mac, along with a colleague, arrived promptly to take Mum on her next journey. He was incredible—kind, respectful, and made sure the entire family was involved in the process of saying goodbye. His attention to detail and sensitivity towards our grief meant the world to us.
Brodie was equally wonderful, ensuring that Mum’s farewell was tailored to our wishes. No request was too much, and she took care of everything with such grace. I truly wish I could give more than 5 stars, as Mac, Brodie, and the team deserve far more recognition for the outstanding service they provided during such a difficult time. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Our experience with James Murray was amazing. From Mac's respect with my husband, Donna on the phone and Emma and all she did for our family. Nothing was too hard or inconvenient. We are very grateful for their generous respect and care throughout our whole experience.

Attentive & well organised. Murrays offer to contact many of the essential end of life services on our behalf was a blessing.

James Murray organised my mother's funeral recently. They were kind and efficient and everything went smoothly.
I dealt with Emma Underwood who was excellent.

Brodie and the staff at James Murray Funeral Directors were professional, kind, caring and respectful. They spent many hours combing through many photos, paperwork and did literally everything when we felt overwhelmed 😊❤️

Lovely service, remembering Jim.
I felt as if I was sitting there with you all.
