Where Mackay comes together

Our funeral home is at the same address that Mackay Funerals was originally founded all the way back in 1884. For more than a century, families have walked through these doors seeking comfort, guidance and support.

Reflections from local families

They were very professional and kind during this process.

Joanne L. June 2025

Kathleen and Mah were very professional and handled all our concerns.

Suzanne S. October 2025

The team were very professional, kind and understanding through our very sad time.

Dealing with the departure of our beloved Mother and Nan. The process was not stressful and was left to us when we felt we could proceed. Before and after they have continued to help, with questions and anything else we have needed. The service they provided was beautiful, the Celebrant Pauline, was amazing, the overall sadness we felt in the beginning,  was uplifted with a beautiful ending.
