Our Services
At Hiram Philp Funerals we help bring your family together to arrange a personal funeral service that truly celebrates and honours the life of your loved one.
Our funeral directors are with you every step of the way, keeping you informed and guiding you through the arrangements as much or as little as you need. Hiram Philp Funerals offers you the freedom of choice to personalise the funeral service, always with your needs and budget in mind.
In the Book of Ideas, funeral directors have shared some of their stories of how families have honoured their loved ones, so that you can draw inspiration for your own funeral arrangements.
When you're organising a funeral service, one of the first decisions will be whether you are organising a burial or a cremation. This choice will directly impact the type of funeral service you will have.
Legal Kit Specialists provide a new style of DIY kit for the Settlement of an Estate (Probate) or the writing of a Will, completed in the comfort of your home. They are detailed and informative, easy to use and with phone back-up, saving you both time and money.
A repatriation is where a deceased person is moved from one state or one country to another so that final rites can be performed there. Our funeral directors can arrange repatriations interstate and internationally.

Help and Advice
Funerals can seem like a complicated affair, and there is a lot to know. That's why we created this help section to make things just a little easier.
We've provided some information about what to expect from each step of the funeral arrangements, from how to plan ahead or what to do when someone passes away, to what you should expect before, during and after a funeral service.
Planning Ahead
Planning a funeral when a loved one dies can be a challenging task, but did you know that a funeral can be planned and paid for ahead of time?
A prepaid funeral is a sensible alternative to funeral insurance or funeral bonds, and could save you money - you pay today's price and ensure the service will be tailored to your needs, wishes and budget.
When Someone Passes
When someone has passed away and if you've never arranged a funeral before, you might not know what you will need to do when a death has occurred.
You'll find more information about what to do when a death occurs, what to expect when meeting your funeral director, the Death Certificate and why funerals matter in this section.
Before the Service
There is usually some time between making the initial funeral arrangements with your funeral director, and the time of the actual funeral service.
There are a number of things you may wish to consider before the funeral service, such as the choice of day and time, whether you will have a viewing and if you are writing a eulogy.
After the Service
Once the funeral service is over, it is time to consider the type of memorial you would like for your loved one.
Your options will depend on whether it was a burial or cremation service.
We also provide information about scattering ashes and resources for coping with grief.
What our families are saying
The way David and Penny handled everything was so simplified, and organised at a pace that really gave us, not only plenty of time to plan and get everything together but respected our time to mourn during this hardship. This was my first time I've had to organise a funeral, so it was really overwhelming not knowing where to even begin, but David and Penny really explained everything well and never rushed me throughout the whole process. Everybody couldn't stop telling me that day how great the service was, so thank you so much again David and Penny, I'm so happy how the day turned out myself and I could've asked for a better service for Mum. Kindest regards Jamie.

What our families are saying
Funerals tend to bring the best and at times, the worst out in people as they struggle to come to grips with the loss of a loved one or even someone that held a special place in one's life.
I found the staff and especially David who went to extraordinary lengths to appease, arrange and orchestrate the best possible service imaginable to be of the highest order. His care and support prior to, during and after the service was exceptional
We often hear advertisements in hushed tones assuring all who need the services of an undertaker or more generally that person or group who can give their all to ensure that the life recently concluded on this earth is celebrated and remembered in a manner that befits the person being farewelled.
I can happily and sincerely assure anyone in need of this special service that they need never look further than Hiram Philp Funeral Directors in Toowwomba. They are a special class of people who put kindness, compassion and service before all else and I could not recommend them highly enough.
