A living tribute for our community

Since 2011, we’ve organised an annual Memorial Tree Planting Day alongside Parklands Albury Wodonga. This special initiative helps families contribute to the local environment while honouring their loved one, creating a place of remembrance that continues to grow year after year.

Trusted by families in Albury and Wodonga

We're so grateful to Lesters & Sons.

The feelings shown by Kylie to our loss & understanding the grief we were experiencing was top class, I plan to prepay a funeral for myself in the near future. Lesters also conducted my mother's funeral in 2018, this was conducted with the same degree of professionalism as we experienced recently.
Ronald L. September 2025

Our family was impressed by the professionalism of the team.

Andrew, from Lester & Son Funerals, provided great support and advice during a stressful time. As far as funerals go, my wife's service could not have been better. The celebrant, supported by the Lester & Son staff, could not have provided a better service or support to the family.

Thank you for all your support and guidance at a very difficult time.

We felt that we were treated with respect empathy and compassion. All details were addressed in a timely manner and we were grateful that we were able to have Mum’s funeral ina very short time frame which we were grateful for.
