About Morleys Funerals Townsville
Basil Morley, a funeral director since 1943

This early beginning gave Basil the opportunity to develop a reputation for the provision of a quality service, assisting Townsville’s residents during the end of World War 2. Basil’s extra care and attention to detail culminated in the creation of Morleys Funerals in 1961.

Morleys Funerals began operating from premises at Dearness Street, Garbutt, Townsville and from this location built up a solid reputation of quality and dependable service over the ensuing years.

Cyclone Althea destroyed most of the original funeral parlour in 1971. Rebuilding work occurred along with many other renovations when funds became available. This original site served the family well, but the business was rapidly out-growing the premises.

A long-standing vision was realised in 1999 with the opening of the new Morleys Funeral Home - situated at the corner of Hugh Street and Martinez Avenue, The Lakes (also known as West End). From this new location the Morley family have been able to expand their services and incorporate new options that were not possible at the old site.

Basil and Betty Morley, along with their son-in-law Ray Valdeter, built their business on exceptional service and integrity. They have set a benchmark for funeral service in the Townsville region. These qualities continue today.

Basil Morley passed away peacefully in Townsville aged 90 years. His funeral was held on Monday 16th October 2017 exactly 56 years (to the day) after he and Betty started the business. Basil is survived by his loving wife Betty and three daughters Lyn, Margaret and Robyn.

Now, third and fourth generation, Morley’s family members continue to operate the Funeral Home, which is well known and respected throughout the community and across Australia for personal and reliable service.
