Local Cemetery in Canberra ACT

William Cole Funerals is a family owned business, serving the Canberra community for the past 18 years. Beginning in a small office in Mitchell, focusing on minute detail, and making each funeral a truly beautiful moment in time; has made William Cole Funerals a leader in funeral services.

Our beginnings can be traced back to 1851 when Patrick O’Rourke was transported from Ireland, to serve a seven year incarceration at the infamous Port Arthur Penal Settlement. Patrick served only two years before his reprieve and relocation to Melbourne. In the late 1890’s Cornelius, Patrick’s son set up a funeral business in Queanbeyan. Cornelius ran the business from his Mowatt Street residence.

In your desire to create a memorial as a tribute to the memory of a loved one, it will be of great help to have the advice of those who have spent a lifetime in the design and erection of monuments.

At Toscan Dinn Funerals we pride ourselves on our honest approach to all information regarding the funeral arrangement. We are able to provide written quotations outlining our services, fees and all monies that need to be paid to third parties (disbursements), for example, florist, newspaper, crematorium or cemetery.
