Chipper Funerals in the News

Generally speaking, Chipper Funerals has a good track record of service and has kept out of the spotlight in terms of any missteps.

Chipper Funerals caught some media attention when one of its hearse drivers was pulled over for a random breath test. The West Australian reported that a Chipper Funerals manager had just concluded a funeral service and was on her way to the cemetery with a coffin in the back of her hearse when she encountered a “booze bus” and was signalled to pull over for a random test. Luckily, the bereaved family took the experience in good spirits.
