Our story
Since 1883, Tuckers Funeral & Bereavement Service has been woven into the fabric of Geelong, providing unwavering support to local families during life's most difficult moments.
Over 140 years of serving Geelong
Tuckers began in the small country town of Wycheproof in 1883, before moving to Geelong in 1925. For over a century, we’ve been part of the community and trusted by generation after generation.
Today, we’re proud to serve families across six chapels in Geelong, Grovedale, Lara and Moorabool.

The heart of Geelong
Care, compassion and the ease of organising Mum’s farewell under emotionally stressful circumstances.
The staff was kind and helpful and thought of everything. The process was made simple and and my wishes were taken seriously.
I felt that I had a team working with me and supporting me in placing my brother to his final rest. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
All staff that we dealt with, particularly Sharon, were caring and supportive, compassionate, respectful and organised in the lead up to and on the day of the funeral.
Post the funeral I received a follow up phone call to see how everyone, specifically Dad, was doing which was very much appreciated.
