Our history

 

Australian Heritage Funerals is proud to have reached the highest standards expected and you have peace of mind knowing that we offer experienced, professional and dedicated care to each and every family.

Established in 1998, Australian Heritage Funerals often known as Heritage Funerals, was founded by the McGrath-Colquhoun Family. Since then, we have joined InvoCare and we are proud to be part of Australia’s leading provider of dependable, quality funeral services that are affordable.

The McGrath-Colquhoun family are fifth-generation Darling Downs locals, and have a long, established history in this area. The family has many years of experience caring for local people in need and we at Australian Heritage Funerals are proud to continue that long tradition.

Our belief is that people should have the choice of the personal care that a business like ours provides. At all times we aim to ensure that you feel understood and supported. By working actively in the day-to-day running of our company, we have built a proud reputation for professionalism, reliability, friendliness and genuine care, which is so necessary at one of life’s most difficult times.  We are privileged to get to know our families on a personal level and to become involved in their family, even if just for a short time.

Our professional staff are dedicated to caring for every family with compassion and respect and each staff member brings a special level of warmth and understanding and truly cares about our grieving families and giving the best at all times.

We provide quality facilities with our onsite Heritage Funeral Chapel, suitable for non-religious and religious services, as well as our adjoining Heritage function room, allowing for refreshments to be catered for, as well as range of specialised funeral vehicles including a modern white Hearses, a Vintage Horse Drawn Hearse and Motorbike Hearse.

Since 2004, we have been an Accredited Member of the Australian Funeral Directors Association ( AFDA), which requires its members to honour a strict code of Ethics and Practice, ensuring you peace of mind knowing that we have reached the highest professional standards.

We are also proud to be a part of InvoCare. InvoCare is a leading provider of funeral services in Australia, and this gives us the support and strength required, to ensure that we continue to offer excellence of service in every way, to all our client families.
