Newcastle’s Trusted Funeral Home

With over 100 years serving the Newcastle and Hunter region, we focus on helping families through life’s most difficult moments with professional, personalised, and caring service.

Our Heritage & Commitment

What we have found during our time serving the Newcastle community is that no two funerals are the same. We focus on helping families get through an event that everyone goes through in life, but rarely pre-arranges. When a loved one passes, contact our team of experienced funeral directors who are here and awaiting your call. Let us take all the guesswork out of it for you. Call us & we will come. One thing that hasn’t changed throughout our century of service is the professional, personalised and caring service we offer to families in our local community.

Testimonials

A very professional compassionate team who helped at a difficult time
Steele and the team are absolutely amazing.
I've helped plan a few funerals. This by far was the easiest. Team was prepared. Had a straight forward process. No question was missed, and nothing forgotten. All details were double checked. Absolutely perfect.
Couldn't recommend the team enough.
Beautiful service everything we asked Meighans to do they did it with professionalism.
Made the Catholic Church service order and decision making so much easier at an emotional time.
Beautiful meaningful service.
The staff at Meighans were very professional and went out of their way to ensure our needs were met during this difficult period. I could not speak too highly of Meighans Funerals. Thank you
A million thanks to Meighans for their compassionate and professional support in the funeral and burial of my beloved brother. I entrusted him to you with the unwavering belief that he deserved the best, and Meighans care is definitely the best. First Meighans delivered my mother through her resting place journey, and now my brother. The depth of respect Meighans has in dealing with our loved ones in their passing and the families and friends left behind during the hardest part of loss gives comfort and healing. Beautiful service, hassle free organisation, beautiful booklets and flowers, distinguished and respectful service event and interment. Thank you to all the staff at Meighans.
I'm very happy with the team from Meighans . They were very professional and caring. They made a sad and stressful time easier
Excellent service. They went above and beyond to help us during a very sensitive time. Would recommend them!
A lovely service for Pat Bundock which I watched on livestream.
