A deer has rampaged through a Melbourne funeral home, charging at an employee and causing more than $100,000 damage.

The home was left looking like a 'horrific crime scene' after the incident in which a wild deer chased the worker into the chapel before going 'completely nuts'.

The 250kg animal charged at the woman at Tobin Brothers Funerals in Ringwood on Thursday afternoon, leaving the company with a $100,000 repair bill, managing director James MacLeod said.

Mr MacLeod said a staff member was alone in the building when she heard a loud bang and discovered a glass door had been shattered.
