About Us

Our experience and can-do attitude will ease stress and worry from the funeral, leaving you free to honour and remember your loved one in a special way.

Our History

As a long established family-based business, Beauchamp Funeral Home understands how devastating it can be to lose a loved one and the importance of being supported and given skilled guidance
at every stage of the funeral process.

Peter Beauchamp has 50+ years of trusted professional experience and is joined in the business
by wife Julie and children, Anthony and Emily.

Our expert team of older and younger generations have built a reputation for personal service and excellence at funeral homes in Marton (since 1981), Feilding (1991) and Palmerston North (1996). 

We are friendly, easy-to-deal with people, dedicated to serving you with integrity, warmth and positivity.

As a member of New Zealand Independent Funeral Homes (NZIFH), we are committed to providing professional, compassionate and high-quality care to every family we serve.

Being independently owned is an important part of who we are. Our decisions are made locally, by people who live and work in the communities we serve. We are invested in our local communities, and the money spent with us helps support local people, businesses and organisations rather than being directed to overseas owners or shareholders.

Our independence also means we are not driven by corporate sales targets or pressure to upsell. We are free to focus on what genuinely matters — listening to you, understanding your wishes and helping you make choices that are right for your family and your circumstances.

When sadness can make it difficult to think clearly, we are here to guide and support you. We can be your advisor, administrator, event planner, grief supporter and caregiver, helping with both the practical details and the personal touches that make a farewell meaningful.

Above all, we are dedicated to helping families through one of life’s most difficult times with honesty, dignity and genuine care, working alongside you to create a meaningful farewell for the person you love.

About Us

Our Team

With more than 100 years of combined experience, we offer the highest standards of industry training and knowledge so we can respectfully care for the deceased and help you plan a fitting celebration of the life and times of your loved one. The natural empathy of our close, family-run business makes a difference –and we offer a choice of both men and women funeral directors.
