About us

At Shakespeare Funerals, we believe that history isn’t just about the past—it’s about the deep roots we’ve planted in the Dubbo community over the last 130 years. As Dubbo’s longest-serving funeral home, we offer more than just a service; we offer a century of stability, dignity, and local heart.

Our Story

Established in 1894, Shakespeare Funerals is woven into the very fabric of our region. Our funeral home still operates from the original building where the Shakespeare family was raised, serving as a constant landmark for generations of families.

Our walls hold stories of resilience. If you visit our front entrance, you’ll find a historic marker recording the peak of the 1955 floods. It’s a quiet reminder that through every storm and season, we have remained a steady, supportive presence for our neighbors.

We understand that when you reach out to us, it is often during life’s most difficult moments.

That is why our approach combines historical prestige with modern compassion.
