About Mulqueen Family Funerals
For generations, Mulqueen Family Funerals has been a trusted part of the Bendigo community, helping families create unique, meaningful, and memorable farewells for their loved ones. Our story is one of care, tradition, and dedication, built on strong family values and a commitment to serving others with dignity and compassion.
Our beginnings date back to 1853, when Thomas Abell established a carpentry and undertaking business in Bendigo, Bridge Street. Just two years later, the business was relocated to the corner of Bridge and Cemetery Streets, overlooking the original Sandhurst Burial Grounds.
Today, the Mulqueen continues to be involved, offering compassionate care, professional guidance, and a deep respect for every family we serve. With more than 170 years of history behind us, Mulqueen Family Funerals remains dedicated to supporting the Bendigo community with the same values that have guided us since the very beginning.
Our Core Values
We constantly strive to be Australia’s best funeral care provider. This is achieved through the establishment of a great company culture that supports and enables staff to deliver the highest of customer service experiences.
