Le Pine Funerals Dandenong, VIC

Meet Le Pine Funerals in Dandenong

Le Pine Funerals has over 125 years of experience in tailoring funeral services to the needs and values of families in Victoria, with the first Le Pine funeral home having served the local community since 1891.

The Dandenong funeral home was rebuilt and reopened in March 2018, co-branded with White Lady Funerals Dandenong. 

Le Pine Funerals Dandenong is located 30km south east from Melbourne CBD in the foothill of the Dandenong Ranges near Dandenong Creek. We provide funeral services to families in Dandenong, Eumemmerring, Keysborough, Noble Park, Doveton, Dandenong North, Dandenong South, Endeavour Hills and beyond.

With a great number of migrants settling in Dandenong and surrounds, the local area is culturally diverse. Our caring funeral directors support families from many parts of the world and from all religious backgrounds and, no matter your faith or religion, we can help arrange a funeral that honours and celebrates your loved one’s life.

We will work closely with you, attending to all the details so you don’t need to worry during this difficult time.

Funeral services in Dandenong

Le Pine Funerals can help arrange any type of funeral. For example, you may want to hold the funeral service for your loved one at:

• Our beautifully appointed Dandenong chapel
• A local church (St Gerard’s Catholic Church, Dandenong Church of Christ, St Mary's Catholic Church, First Hungarian Baptist Church, St James Anglican Church and Universal Church of Kingdom of God)
• Any other destination such as a community or sporting club, park or private residence

Following the ceremony, you may choose to bury or memorialise your loved one at Dandenong Community Cemetery, which is just 5km from our funeral home. The cemetery recognises the needs of Dandenong’s diverse communities, offering a range of in-ground burial options in specific cultural and religious locations; as well as memorial options.
