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.
