About Purslowe & Chipper Funerals
Purslowe & Chipper Funerals, formerly Purslowe Funerals, brings together two Western Australian funeral names with roots in the 1800s. James Purslowe helped bereaved families in Northam, and Purslowe Funerals was a full-time business by 1907, while Chipper Funerals dates from 1889. The business says it has supported WA families for more than 130 years.
Purslowe & Chipper is part of InvoCare, as its website states, and its prepaid plans are provided through Guardian Plan. It lists nine funeral homes, from Wangara and Midland to Fremantle, Rockingham and Mandurah, and arranges services in its chapels, at churches, on beaches and at other venues.
Rather than set packages, pricing is built around each family's choices, and every branch publishes a price disclosure. The business arranges Catholic, Orthodox and other religious services as well as contemporary celebrations of life, and most of its chapels can live-stream services.
