Mareena Purslowe Funerals

North Perth

How long have you been a funeral arranger?

I have been in the industry just over 3 years now. I felt drawn to the industry after Mareena Purslowe took care of my grandma’s funeral in 2005. I knew I wanted to return the compassion and care shown to our family during a difficult time and be part of a respectful and unique brand.

What do you like about being a funeral arranger?

I like ensuring all family members involved are acknowledged and heard during the arrangement process. I also like creating a bespoke and personalised service for each family, to really reflect the life that was lived.

What do you enjoy doing in your spare time?

I love to get out horse riding, it’s a good way to clear the head and process the week.
At family gatherings I like to make unusual and challenging deserts for a bit of fun, last Christmas was a croquembouche… wasn’t too pretty but if nothing else, it was edible!

What’s the most remarkable funeral you’ve ever arranged?

One that was especially memorable was a Star Trek themed funeral, where all the family and attendees dressed as a particular character from the show as a nod to their loved one. Very unique.

What makes Mareena Purslowe Funerals special?

I feel like our team at Mareena Purslowe Funerals is second to none. The pride and care our ladies have is reflected in every action from arrangement, through to the funeral service and beyond. We have created lasting relationships with many families because of this. We continue this connection by holding memorial services and participating in community events. Our all-female team provides a gentle touch that is constantly acknowledged by our families.
