History

TS Burstow Funerals was founded in 1900 by TS Burstow, a former Mayor of Toowoomba, and has remained in his family's hands ever since. Now run jointly by Trevor and Donald Burstow, our founder's great-grandsons, the company continues to meet the needs of the community with the same commitment to understanding and sensitivity on which the company was founded.
