About Us In the middle of the 1930s, my grandfather Honess Baggs, moved to Bairnsdale to do survey work with the Civil Construction Corp. Honess, who was a builder by trade, began making coffins and conducting funerals with G.H. Vickers, funeral directors. He later worked for Holford and Craig funeral directors and then Williams and Lee funeral directors before he and my father Buffy went into business for themselves in 1962. 2014 marks 80 years of my family conducting funerals across the Gippsland region. - Stephen Baggs.

We have a large off-street parking area behind the chapel with an exit leading out into Mill Street. Since moving into our Main Street premises in 2008, we have worked at renovating and upgrading our facilities. The final phase, doubling the floor area of the chapel and offices was completed in February 2014.We have improved access to the building and expanded the seating capacity in the chapel to over 200 people and we can accommodate several hundred more standing at the back and sides of the chapel.
