Trusted by families across Illawarra

Everyone was so helpful, sympathetic and genuine.

They made the process so much easier than it would have been elsewhere. Mum was well looked after, highly recommend, don't bother looking elsewhere you'd be wasting precious time. Having to go through such a traumatic event in our lives was terrible, but the day of Mums' funeral was beautiful, she would have been proud. Thank you Purslowe & Chipper, love to you all.

Robert T. September 2025

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.

This was my first time arranging a funeral, and I wasn’t sure what to expect.

From the very beginning, the team at Purslowe & Chipper made the experience so much easier during a very difficult time. Mykel was incredibly supportive, compassionate, and professional throughout the whole process. His calm and kind manner meant a great deal to me and my family.
