A family business with deep roots

Founded by Hiram Philp and his wife Emma, our business grew from a small joinery workshop on Herries Street – the same location we still call home today. Three generations have carried that legacy forward.

Caring for families across the region

We support families throughout Toowoomba, Cambooya, Clifton, Crow's Nest, Hampton and the wider Darling Downs, whether services are held at our funeral home or at another local venue.

Proudly part of the InvoCare network

As part of InvoCare, we're able to offer local families the strength and resources of a national network – while continuing to provide the personal, neighbourhood care we've been known for since 1903.

I found David to be very astute at reading people and assessing needs. 

He was compassionate kind and treated me like an individual. I felt as though he saw me as a human being not just a client.Very refreshing and confidence inspiring.
