For nearly two centuries, this esteemed family-run service has been dedicated to providing compassionate and professional funeral services, offering unwavering support to families during their most challenging times.

The legacy of Perry & Phillips is built upon a foundation of trust, respect, and a deep understanding of the emotional and practical needs of those experiencing loss.

We also provide avenues for charitable donations and memorial tributes, allowing families to honour their loved ones in meaningful ways.

Beyond their funeral services, Perry & Phillips is deeply committed to community engagement. We have organised memorial services to support those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and collaborate with local organisations to provide bereavement counselling and support.
