We recently organised a private memorial through Matthew at Purslowe.
He was very considerate and respectful. The setting and the atmosphere felt intimate and comforting. A sincere thank you for your kindness at this difficult time.
Their care before, during, and after the service was exemplary.
Matthew Cannon and all the staff managed Dad’s funeral with grace and understanding. They went above and beyond and understood how confronting and difficult such a situation could be for the family.
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.

Outside of work, he loves working with his hands, weather he's building something from beautiful timber in his garage or cultivating a thriving veggie garden. Cooking is another creative outlet, especially when he has a fresh, healthy recipe to follow and all the ingredients ready to go. He has competed for Australian and State swim titles and has played rugby with the WA State squad.
