Rockhampton funeral home – about Finlayson & McKenzie Funeral Directors
The history of the Rockhampton funeral home/firm of funeral directors, Finlayson & McKenzie, goes back to 1885. In fact, it could have been the original mortuary in the city. The office at 56 William Street bears the date of founding and has remained in the same location since the beginning. Since then, the firm established branches in Yeppoon and Mount Morgan.
Finlayson & McKenzie prides itself on professionalism and attention to detail. It’s the small touches that make a big difference. We adhere to the Quality Standards and Code of Ethics of the Australian Funeral Directors Association.
