Our History

Le Pine Funerals is an Australian owned business that has been serving the people and communities of Melbourne since 1891. Le Pine Funerals is proud to have continually grown our experience and our reputation for care ever since then. 

One of Le Pine's funeral homesThe Le Pine Funerals business was started by one man, Joseph Le Pine, whose family fled their homeland of France in the 1870's to escape persecution. 

Jospeh worked as a cabinet maker and, in the early days of funeral services, it was common for coffins to be made by a carpenter, a cabinet maker or similar artisan. It was also common for the manufacturer of coffins to assist families to make funeral arrangements. By 1891 Joseph was established as an undertaker in the growing colonial city of Melbourne.
