- General Info
William Farmer Funeral Directors have been providing care to bereaved families in Central Victoria since the gold mining era. The business is locally owned and operated by Andrew and Heather Hampton.
In early 1873 Mr. William Farmer was a cabinetmaker who began manufacturing coffins for families, like many in this trade he chose to begin conducting funerals, and therefore William Farmer Funeral Directors was established. Today located in Bendigo and Eaglehawk, we are a locally owned and operated funeral home. Our team take great care in the way we look after families and believe it’s an honour and privilege to care for families. For almost 150 years we have been a trusted member of the Bendigo and surrounding community, and we continue to keep a tradition of personal, professional, and uncompromised funeral care.
