Local Church & Religious Organisations in Kew VIC

Established in 1849, Lonergan & Raven holds the distinction of being Melbourne's oldest surviving independently owned funeral home. Throughout our rich history, we have remained committed to providing compassionate and personalised funeral services, embracing both tradition and modernity.

We have been operating since the early 1930's. Originally, we were located in a room, now a small kitchen, under the stairwell in Gisborne Street. We have moved twice since then. For a long time we inhabited a slightly smaller room inside what is now the Curate's flat located on Gisborne Street. At the beginning of 1999, we moved back to leafy Gisborne Street into our present space.

With five modern funeral homes across Melbourne suburbs, we maintain the highest standards to provide professional quality care in everything we do. Our aim is not to be the biggest funeral directors in Melbourne, but to be the best.
