For over five decades, the Keith Logue & Sons team has walked alongside families in Coffs Harbour and the Mid North Coast during times of loss and grief. From humble beginnings to becoming one of New South Wales’ leading funeral homes, our story is one of community, compassion and continuity.
We provide a complete range of funeral services to help you plan, personalise, and honour a life well lived. Here’s a brief overview of how we can assist you in life’s most difficult times.
It all started in July 1910, when Mr. Pigott opened his business in Coffs Harbour, trading as a builder and undertaker. His venture laid the foundations for a legacy that would continue for generations.
The funeral side of the business was purchased by Pat O’Keefe, a wheelwright, who operated from the corner of Lyster and High Streets in Coffs Harbour.
Mr. Claude H. Everingham took over the business. As an automotive engineer and cabinet maker by trade, Mr. Everingham built a chapel and offices on High Street before eventually moving the building to 37 Little Street, Coffs Harbour.
The Rayners acquired the funeral home. Mr. Rayner, a former train driver, ran the business until 1967.
Keith and Margaret Logue purchased the business in March 1967, officially establishing Keith Logue & Sons. Keith managed funerals and monuments, while Margaret balanced raising their family with overseeing office duties and floral arrangements. Together, they built the business with a focus on empathy, trust and service.
Their son Bob joined the business, becoming the third generation of Logue funeral directors.
As Coffs Harbour grew, so did the need for a dedicated facility, so the business moved to a purpose-built funeral home at 42 Park Avenue. That same year, Bob married Deb, who began working alongside him in the family business. Their partnership became the backbone of the next era.
Bob and Deb’s sons, Aaron and Ashley, joined the team in 2010, followed by daughter Candace in 2012. With their arrival, Keith Logue & Sons proudly became a fourth-generation business, blending tradition with modern care.
Keith and Margaret Logue retired, leaving behind a remarkable legacy. They dedicated their lives to supporting others through times of loss, becoming pillars of strength, compassion, and integrity within the community. Keith passed away in 2016, followed by Margaret in 2017. Their values remain the heart of Keith Logue & Sons, continuing to guide the business in serving families with care and respect.
The funeral home expanded by purchasing the adjoining building at 44 Park Avenue. This purpose-built expansion doubled the office space, allowing for improved facilities and a more comfortable experience for families.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Keith Logue & Sons introduced live streaming services, ensuring families could still come together to honour loved ones, even when physically apart. This has since become a valued option for many.
Today, Keith Logue & Sons is a trusted name with over 20 dedicated staff serving families across Coffs Harbour, Woolgoolga, Urunga, Bellingen, Dorrigo and beyond. Now led by Bob, Deb, Aaron, Ashley, and Candace, the business remains deeply committed to excellence, compassion and attention to detail.
As we look ahead to our 60th anniversary in 2027, we continue to fine-tune every aspect of what we do — because we believe that every life deserves to be honoured with care and respect.
