Whether it’s sudden or expected, planning a funeral is never easy – but it helps to have the right people in your corner. We’re available 24/7, ready to help when you need us.
When someone dies, there’s a lot to think about – and often, not much time to think. Our job is to take the pressure off. We’ll walk you through what needs to happen, handle the logistics, and help you make the decisions that matter.
Whether you want a traditional service or something tailored to your beliefs, we’ll help you create a farewell that feels right.
Viewings can give family and friends a quiet moment to say goodbye. We’ll make sure it’s private and respectful.
We’ll explain your options and handle the details, so you can choose what’s right for your loved one and your family.
We can help with catering, venue hire and other logistics for a meaningful celebration of life.
Commemorate your loved one's life with a collection of photos, videos and stories to be cherished for generations.
We can live-stream the service for those who can’t attend, so no one misses the chance to say goodbye.
From the moment you reach out, we’re here to help through it all. We’ll help you understand what’s needed and handle the details – big and small.
There’s a lot to organise, but you’re not expected to know it all. We’ll guide you through each decision with calm, practical support.
If you'd like a viewing, we’ll prepare your loved one with care and create a quiet space for you to say goodbye in your own time.
The service is your chance to gather, reflect and honour your loved one. We’ll make sure everything runs smoothly on the day.

Need help writing or preparing a eulogy? We can help shape the words or offer guidance if you’re unsure.

We had Purslowe & Chipper support us in the past.
We knew we were in safe hands. From the first phone call we made, which was 12.30am, we had nothing but understanding and support right through our grieving. Ashley anticipated our needs at every stage. Gently helped us make decisions that were right for my family. I would highly recommend P&C to family and friends. It felt like we were looked after by our family.
All the people were just special.
They made me feel comfortable on the day and were ever so caring. What a beautiful send off they gave my Christine. It was like they all knew her also. Thank you everyone also for the help you gave me after the funeral as well.
You are all lovely people. God bless you all. Charlie
Knowing all the legalities were taken care off was a blessing.
The support, consideration, compassion and accommodating nature of all involved was beyond amazing. A very emotional, stressful time was taken care of without a hitch. My husbands farewell was perfect and the best tribute we could have asked for.

Planning a funeral can often feel rushed, but it doesn’t have to. Most funerals are held within 5–7 days, but if you need a little extra time, we’ll work with your schedule. We’ll care for your loved one until you’re ready to hold the service and say goodbye.
Absolutely. We encourage each family to consider the details and components of a funeral service that would best suit their loved one. From the venue to the music and everything in between, each funeral should represent the personality and values of the person being honoured.
While our chapels are available for the service, you may wish to hold the funeral at an alternative location. We’ve helped families hold the service at local beaches, parks, churches and more.
Yes, live-streaming is offered for all funeral services in our chapels. They’re set up with high-quality video and audio devices to ensure a seamless experience for those joining virtually.
The cost of a funeral varies depending on the chosen inclusions and details – things like the type of funeral service, casket and floral arrangements. Your funeral director will run you through the options and provide a clear estimate of the costs. You can also view our pricing in advance.
Whether you’re planning a farewell now or preparing for the future, we’re here to help. Call us any time – we’re available 24/7.
