George Hartnett Metropolitan Funerals Mount Gravatt

My Dad passed suddenly during the Covid 19 period. His funeral took a lot of thinking out of the Norm.. Sally our funeral director was so absolutely amazing. She went far and beyond to make everything possible. From dads “ He only paid 50 dollars into his funeral plan” to discounts, making this time affordable and as stress free as possible.nThe directors bought dad home for us so we could have a drive by funeral, for all his friend and family to drive by and stop to say goodbye preceding the formal funeral, the morning was amazing they cared so much and made it possible. Dad’ coffin was placed in the front yard in front of his beloved Holden. I cannot recommend Metropolitan Funerals highly enough I’ve used them previously for my 13 week old sons funeral and both my grandparents have used there services. They made my family feel like family. Thank you so so much.

In peak hour traffic this morning I drove through a plume of garden clippings blown onto Newnham road by GHMF's gardener. This was not only dangerous but left my car covered in dust.

My grandfather bought a pre-paid funeral plan with Metropolitan Funerals back in the 1960s to protect his family financially in the event he passed away. It cost 500 AUS pounds, which was a lot of money back then. In 1999 he sadly passed away and Metropolitan Funerals refused to honour the pre-paid funeral agreement stating ‘that’s one of our older plans’. They gave us $100 off the total funeral cost and refused to cover the whole cost.nnSince writing this review and highlighting the situation with Metropolitan Funerals, they've made a genuine and concerted effort to contact me, understand and research what happened 20 years ago, contact the relevant Government Authorities that managed these funds to find some answers for our family.nnWhile a definitive reason for the 'fund issue' wasn't determined, the response from George Hartnett Metropolitan Funerals gave my family some closure and understanding how these funds were managed, and in some instances misappropriated in the past.nnI commend them on making an effort to understand and repair an issue from before their 'time', and to make things right again.

The team at Metropolitan Funerals on Newnham Rd Mt Gravatt were absolutely amazing! They were so caring and so wonderful to our family. We highly highly recommend them. A peaceful beautiful venue and a fantastic team, very gentle and very sensitive too.Thankyou so much to the team at Metropolitan from the Liddell Family.

My sister Lisa and I would like to thank Metropolitan Funerals as was chosen by our Mum; whom had cleverly planned and prepaid her funeral. When the time came in March 2017, we called Metropolitan, Ann Gibbs was our director and all was taken care of. (Ann was amazing and truly took into consideration the personal circumstances of our family, as our Mum's husband had also recently passed away. Twelve years and all was taken care of. I recommend to all, that the Invocare Group (Metropolitan, Simplicity and White Lady Funerals) as all that we had to personally deal with was handled with so much compassion and consideration. Thank you to all the Directors at Metropolitan Funerals, Newnham Road, Mt Gravatt.nK. Fishpool and L McIntosh.
