5-Star Care for Our Beautiful Natasha 🦋
From our very first phone call to the completion of Natasha's funeral service, the entire team at Templeton Family Funerals was nothing short of exceptional.
During the most heartbreaking time of our lives, they treated our daughter, Natasha, and our entire family with the utmost dignity, compassion, kindness and respect. Every member of their team was professional, caring, patient and incredibly prompt. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and every request big or small was handled with genuine empathy and attention to detail.
Their communication was outstanding, keeping us informed every step of the way, and they made what felt like an impossible journey so much easier to navigate. The care they took in honouring Natasha's life gave us great comfort and created a beautiful farewell that we will always cherish.
We will be forever grateful to Templeton Family Funerals for their unwavering support, professionalism and heartfelt care. I cannot recommend them highly enough to any family needing guidance through one of life's most difficult moments.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you did for our beautiful Natasha and for all of us. Milica (Mel) Ron & Family ❤️🦋

This was our family’s second experience with Templeton Family Funerals. We found that Elizabeth and the team at Templeton were very approachable, caring and professional and showed great dignity and compassion to our mum and us. They listened to our wishes and were very communicative during the entire process. We felt confident with them, and they made the whole process was very easy for us.
We would highly thoroughly Elizabeth and the team at Templeton Family Funerals.

I cannot recommend these beautiful people enough in such a hard time. Ellese went above and beyond making sure my mums service was perfect, and perfect it was. So much love, support and care put into everything they do. Huge personal thanks to Ellese and our lovely celebrant Jacqueline.

Tragically, my aunty passed away start of 2026 and after discussing options with a number of funeral homes, Templeton were a standout. The owners are hands on and treat the process not as a business transaction, but with compassion and understanding. If you're in the undortunate circumstance of needing the services, I cannot rate this company and its people higher. My aunty was buried with the dignity and grace she deserved. From the bottom of our hearts, we cannot thank the Templeton team enough.

We would like to sincerely thank Ellese and the entire team at Templeton Family Funerals for the incredible care and support they provided to our family during one of the most difficult times in our lives. After losing both our brother and our Dad within the past 18 months, their compassion, empathy, and genuine kindness made an immeasurable difference to us.

From the very beginning, Ellese and her staff were warm, caring, and deeply respectful. They guided us gently through every step of the process, offering thoughtful suggestions and ensuring everything was handled with dignity and care. Their communication was outstanding, and we always felt supported, informed, and understood.

At such a sad and emotional time, they were everything you could hope for — professional, compassionate, and truly dedicated to helping families through grief with kindness and respect.

We cannot recommend Templeton Family Funerals highly enough and will always be grateful for the care they showed our family.

Thank you to Ellese and all the staff at Templeton Funerals for your support, professionalism, and kindness while assisting me to put together a beautiful celebration of life for my 97 year old father. You offered the same support 14 years ago when my mother passed away. A truly wonderful team of sincere and compassionate women. I wish you all every bit of success in the future. Each of the roles you perform are so important as they create long lasting memories for those celebrating a dear loved one. Thank you for providing me and our family and friends a truly wonderful service. We are so very grateful. Tania

We're extremely happy with Templeton Family Funerals, and in particular, the care and attention provided by Ellese.

Ellese helped us with both my mother’s and father-in-law’s passing. We will definitely be using their services again in the future.

In both cases, we wanted something simple, low-cost, and with no pressure - exactly what we received.

I was so blessed to be referred to Ellese at Templeton Funerals.
From the moment I first met Ellese in her beautiful office, I felt seen and heard in a way I really needed during such an emotional and vulnerable time.
Ellese and her team were incredibly professional, efficient and most importantly gentle with stepping me through each part of this process that no one wishes to have to go through.

After a very distressing initial inquiry with Bare Funerals, I turned to Templeton to care for the loss of my daughter. From the first phone call, to the delivery of her ashes I was so impressed with their continued sensitivity and respect for my daughter and for us as her family, and their compassion for our ongoing distress. Run by women, I am so thankful that we found them, and I could not recommend them more highly.

I highly recommend Templeton Family Funerals. Elizabeth was extremely organised and sympathetic, and was able to adapt her communication tone and manner to suit our family. Her email responses were very quick and efficient, accommodating our request for a change of date and adding streaming without issue. On the day of the service, Templeton's’ team of Elizabeth, Russell and Claire were amazing in ensuring everything ran smoothly, including advising Belinda Jane Video, and the rather long trip to the burial.
This is the second time we have used Templeton's, and will do so again without hesitation if the need arises.

2 years ago

We used Templeton's for our mums funeral in 2023 and when Dad died at the end of January there was no double we would be using them again. The caring appraoch is amazing, and the results are seamless. Their team took all of the stress away from what has been one of the most stressful times of our families lives. I could not recommend them highly enough.

I cannot express enough gratitude for the team at Templetone Family Funerals for their incredible support during a difficult and overwhelming time. My nephew's sudden passing left our family in shock and, as this was our first time organizing a funeral in Australia, we were lost and unsure where to begin. From the moment I spoke with Melisa, she guided us through each step with so much patience and understanding. She took the time to explain the process clearly, which was a huge relief. Then, Claire became our funeral director and continued to provide compassionate, professional support every step of the way. The entire team made a heartbreaking experience so much more manageable, showing immense empathy and kindness. I’m deeply thankful for their care, and I highly recommend their services. Five stars from the bottom of my heart.

My family and l are so thankful for the professionalism, care and compassion demonstrated by Ellese Templeton, Elizabeth, Russell, Melissa and all the staff at Templeton Family Funerals. The attention to detail, understanding of our needs and guidance in assisting my family in navigating such an overwhelming process of arranging my mother's funeral service was exemplary. I cannot commend Elizabeth highly enough.
Elizabeth provided us with detailed information before our meeting so we could personalise my mother's funeral. Elizabeth was right by our sides throughout the whole process and proved gentle encouragement when we needed it. On the day before the service I jokingly asked Elizabeth if she could ensure it didn't rain as the weather forecast predicted wet weather. The day of the service was filled with glorious sunshine and blue skies! I cannot thank Templeton Family Funerals and Elizabeth enough. My heartfelt thanks.

Cannot thank Ellese and the staff at Templeton Family Funerals enough for their care and support. They were recommended to us and from the moment we met with Ellese it was clear we were in the right place and that the funeral service would be as we wanted it to be and would be executed with empathy and care as well as taste and style. At a time when decision making is difficult the whole process was sensitive, sympathetic and understanding. We needed our Mum to be in the best of hands and indeed she was. Our deepest of thanks.

Hayley was personable, professional and compassionate. From our first phone conversation Hayley was helpful and a calm presence, sending through a quote and questions for my brother and I to think about for when we all sat down together to plan my Mum's funeral. As our funeral director Hayley made the process effortless and even pleasurable. My requests for my Mum's presentation and my private viewing were met without question.
Templeton delivered a beautiful funeral including the casket, flowers, as well as, Hayley's presentation and treatment of our guests, and the way she was so respectful towards my Mum. The service also went off without a glitch, with the music selected and video of photos played on cue. One of my aunts made the comment that my Mum would have been so proud of the service. Our heartfelt thanks to Hayley and the Templeton family for an outstanding effort.

From the first meeting with Hayley, I knew this was to be the funeral director we would use for my mother in law. Having worked in the funeral industry for many years, I knew what to expect from staff at a funeral home. Templeton Family Funerals far exceeded my expectations. Flexible, professional, affordable are words I would use to describe this funeral home. On the day of the service my niece expressed to me that she had heartfelt support when attending the viewing. Well done to all the staff for providing an execeptional service. I would not hesitate in recommending Templeton Family Funerals to my friends and family

Templeton Family Funerals made this very difficult time in our lives so much easier to navigate with their compassion, understanding, kindness and professional attitude. They listened to our requests and understood what we wanted in our grief and provided a dignified and personal farewell for our beautiful Husband, father, father in law and grandfather.
A special thank you to Hayley who was so respectful and looked after us from our first contact until we bid farewell to our loved one.

Our sincere gratitude to Ellese and Sheree for allowing us to plan a service for our brother that truly reflected his interesting life.
A special thankyou also to Leonie, who so competently guided us through the planning process with compassion and respect for our specific wishes. Her professional expertise was very welcome and we appreciated her considered advice and willingness to accommodate our last minute requests.
The Templeton Team were most professional in their approach and committed to making our brother's service so meaningful, relevant and respectful.
It was most comforting to know that we entrusted our brother's final farewell in such capable hands. Our sincere thanks to you all.

Lynne has been nothing but amazing.
Other staff were polite, kind and respectful.

The two that came to collect my loved one after they'd past were so polite to myself and family. Very respectful with the body and encouraged myself as well as other family to say goodbye.

Couldn't recommend enough. Would give 100 stars if I could :)

Templetons have cared for burial of three members of my family and displayed enormous care & consideration in all of my dealings with them. Their staff are very professional, diligent and able to sort out any issues with the minimum of fuss. I would highly recommend them to care for your loved one in your time of need.

The Templeton Family funerals were absolutely wonderful and affordable. The professionalism, compassion, sympathy, understanding, patience and kindness offered to our family during our time of grief on the passing of our beloved Mother was first-rate. Lynne could not have been more helpful. She was pleasant to deal with and sensitive to our personal needs. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Templeton Family Funerals to other families in Melbourne.

Ellese and her team provide an exceptional service in the most difficult of circumstances. Farewelling someone you love is never an easy task but with Ellese and her team there to guide and support us every step of the way it became a memorable and heartfelt celebration of our Mum's life that was true to her.
Ellese and her team were always patient and made sure that all the tiny details were perfect. Ellese was able to effortlessly attend to, and assist with the more practical side of organising a funeral such as, arranging care for our Mum after she passed, embalming, paper-work, liaising with venues and celebrants and organising burial/cremation.
Templeton family funerals provide genuine support and care and we will be forever thankful for giving us the chance to say a meaningful goodbye and celebrate our Mum's life with joy, uniqueness, and welcome and supported sorrow.

From the first phone call I made to Templeton Family Funeral I felt comfortable in letting them take care of my beautiful Mum, Doris. All ladies showed compassion and understanding of the grief and loss we were feeling, connected us to a wonderful celebrant, organised the live stream due to covid restrictions and ensured our wishes were carried out.
We were treated with the utmost respect.
We could not fault the service they provided and highly recommend these dedicated ladies. it was a beautiful tribute to our dear mum and a celebration of her 93 year life.

Templeton Family Funeral Services have been absolutely wonderful. My Sister and I had no idea how to go about arranging our Dad's funeral and, at such a sad time for us, they were nothing but kind and compassionate and held our hands all the way through.

My family and I would like to thank Rachel, Russel, Ellese, Sheree and the whole team at Templeton for their help, support and professional service they provided us for the funeral services for both our parents. At such a difficult time they provided us with the support to organise both services exactly as we wanted with so much care and consideration. From the moment we contacted them we were provided with all the relevant information. For both our parents the efficient assistance by Rachel and Russell was impeccable, they travelled to our home which was quite a distance from Templeton's head office and were thorough in organising all we needed and provided understanding and comfort through the whole process and emotional time. I could not recommend higher, a more accomplished and professional, caring company to look after your loved ones especially at the most difficult and emotional time, thank you, Gavin, Duncan, Vanessa and families

Templeton is honestly such a great company.
We had to bury our beautiful baby sister wich was already tough, but just before the day the Victorian government declared lockdown on the day of her funeral but Templeton really made the process so much easier and still helped us run the ceremony with such compassion and professionalism.
It was such a beautiful ceremony too.
They are extremely caring and kept in contact with us all throughout the whole process wich was reassuring cause we had never done this before.
Thank you for such a beautiful sendoff for our beautiful Angel.

I also want to express my sincere thanks to your company and the sincere and sensitive approach to the boys and I with every aspect of the arrangements. Not knowing any funeral directors and 'googling' local companies, Lynne was my first contact with Templeton Family Funerals; she just happened to answer the phone that afternoon. From our first conversation, it was clear in her choice of words, her sincerity, sensitivity and sympathy for our loss, I knew we had found someone I could truly feel comfortable with and confident in. Lynne was absolutely sensational and nothing was ever a problem despite my random changes in decisions!
My sons and I were so pleased in every aspect of the arrangements. I also want to commend the staff with how beautiful my husband looked on the day. So important when that was our final vision and lasting memory of seeing him.
Thank you to Ellesse, Sheree, Lynne and all the staff at Templeton Family Funerals.

Templetons' made a difficult process very easy. From the initial call late on a Friday night, to the final follow up call to ask if there was anything else they could help with, Templetons' provided excellent service. Rachel was wonderful in stepping me through all that was needed to result in a lovely church service, and an interment at considerable distance. She made suggestions along the way, all thoughtful and considered. On the day, Rachel and her assistants were also excellent, accompanying us throughout the day, stepping in when needed, while maintaining a discreet presence. I highly recommend their team. Nothing was too much trouble.

Templeton Family Funerals were brilliant in the way they helped us farewell a loved one recently. From the time that Sherree contacted me, the team headed by Rachel were full of care and compassion not only for our loved one but the entire family. They were very professional with excellent attention to detail more so given the restrictions that exist as part of the current Covid 19 crisis. Nothing that we asked for was too much trouble. It is comforting to know that firms like Templetons exist. They make a difficult time much easier to negotiate. I have no hesitation in recommending their services

We couldn't recommend Templeton Family Funerals highly enough. We were devastated when mum passed and choosing the right funeral director was very important for us. Ellese was fantastic from the get go. She was kind, knew her profession, gave us great advice and guidance and was always there for us. She was professional, prompt, she listened and accommodated. We were able to rely on her and the team and they were with us every step of the way in what was a very difficult week for our family. Doreen and Tony, you were so, so kind, caring and respectful - thank you. Ellese, thank you so much for helping us honour and farewell mum the way we wanted.

When a loved one passes away, you don’t need more stress when planning their funeral. Templeton Family Funerals was recommended to us by our celebrant, Marg Fitzpatrick, and I was incredibly happy with my choice. Ellese, Sheree and the girls supported me throughout the process of planning the most amazing celebration of my husband’s life. While I will always miss him, I know that the last thing I did for my husband was perfect.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Authenticity, compassion, care and Templeton's ability to make things happen just as we wanted throughout such an ordeal were the qualities that could not be understated. It is fitting that 'Family' is in their business name because it was that personal touch showed by Lynne and her team that helped us cope with all the preparations and the funeral itself. We were really appreciative how Templeton Family Funerals worked tirelessly to give our Father the best send off possible.

Templeton Family Funerals need to be on your consider list should you require these services. They offered an extremely professional service during a very difficult time and delivered over and above my expectation. I found them considerate, friendly and transparent regarding all aspects of funeral services that you probably have never thought of. I thoroughly recommend them, and looking back, they made the passing of my loved one that much easier. To the team at Templeton Family Funerals, thank you!
