At Gulliver & Tyler Christchurch, we are dedicated to supporting families in Christchurch and the wider Canterbury region with empathy and professionalism. Formerly known as Palmer Funeral Services, our legacy of care began in 1981 when Ron and Jan Palmer established the original funeral home on Wairakei Road. In 2004, Canterbury Funerals acquired the funeral home, and we have continued to provide round-the-clock, quality service to Cantabrians ever since.

Our team of qualified funeral professionals brings extensive experience to every service, ensuring that each family’s unique needs and wishes are met with respect and understanding. As proud members of the Funeral Directors Association of New Zealand (FDANZ), we adhere to the highest standards of ethical and professional practice.

In honour of our heritage, our aptly named “Palmer Chapel” is situated at 150 Harewood Road, on the corner of Harewood and Wilmot Street. This modern, purpose-built facility offers a serene environment for farewells, featuring a contemporary chapel, a new catering lounge, a family room, and full audio-visual capabilities. Ample off-street parking is also available for the convenience of our guests.

We understand that losing a loved one is an emotional and challenging experience. Our compassionate staff is available 24/7 to provide responsive and genuine support, guiding
you through every step of the funeral planning process. Whether you’re seeking immediate assistance or pre-planning for the future, we are here to help you create a meaningful tribute that honours the life of your loved one.

At Gulliver & Tyler Christchurch, we are committed to providing compassionate care and personalised services to support you and your family during life’s most difficult moments.
