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.
Thank you Hansen and Cole.
The care and understanding of our heartache, compassion, empathy and sympathy we received from Megan was absolutely amazing from our first visit preparing mums funeral service to the very end when we left. Megan thank you so much, you really made the whole process a little easier for us. Even the night mum passed and Hansen and Cole came to take mum away, they were amazing with the whole family.
Kathi was so helpful and Lovely to deal with.
She helped us organise the most perfect send off for dad. Kathi was very informative, kept in-touch with us along the way. I highly recommend Kathi and Hansen & Cole to anyone in the area.
A funeral usually takes place within days or weeks of a death and often includes a burial or cremation as part of the service. A memorial service is held after burial or cremation has already occurred and may take place weeks or months later. Both provide meaningful opportunities to gather, reflect and honour a life.
There's no need to rush. We'll guide you through each step at a pace that feels comfortable, helping with the immediate essentials while giving you the time and space to make thoughtful decisions about the service itself.
