Who Owns Purslowe & Chipper Funerals: Western Australia

Australia’s funeral industry is estimated to be $1.5 billion and provides essential services to individuals and families dealing with, or preparing for, death and bereavement.

However, navigating the funeral industry in Perth when dealing with a loved one’s death can leave many of us vulnerable to upselling and confused with no understanding of the industry and little idea of our rights and choices.

Who Owns Purslowe & Chipper Funerals?

Purslowe & Chipper Funerals is a Perth funeral brand owned by InvoCare, a publicly listed multinational company that accounts for 34% of all funeral homes in Australia. In addition to Purslowe & Chipper Funerals, InvoCare own many other brands such as White Lady Funerals (Mareena Purslowe Funerals: WA), Simplicity Funerals, and Value Funerals.

When selecting a funeral home in Perth, one question you need to consider is whether to engage a large corporate funeral home (like Purslowe & Chipper Funerals) or the services of a smaller, West Australian, and family-owned funeral home. While large corporations benefit from a well-known brand, it often means that you’ll pay a premium, and you may not have as much flexibility to personalise the funeral, so it’s worthwhile to consider all of your options.

Shop Around and Select an Independent Funeral Home

Although most consumers will pick a Perth funeral home brand based on expensive marketing campaigns, it pays to shop around. We wouldn’t consider buying a car or paying for a wedding without learning everything we can about the product or service. The same decision making process should also apply to funerals in Perth, WA!

If local ownership and community involvement are essential to you, you should ask who owns and operates the funeral home you are considering in Western Australia. By choosing to use the services of Perth funeral directors, listed with eziFunerals, you are selecting the help of a trusted professional – who can help you anywhere, anytime.
