Our history

Mackay Funerals' history began in the 1880s. The first owners were the Grant family. Alex Grant, who took over the business from his father (also named Alex), was well known in Mackay. Mackay historian Mrs. Bernice Wright said the name Alex Grant as a funeral director was first listed in Mackay City Council burial records on January 3rd, 1884.

Recounting the firm’s history another well known former funeral director - the late Mr. Tom Redhead said he bought the firm in 1958 from Leonard A. and J. Thomas, a husband and wife team who had taken it over from the Grant family about 12 years previously.
