Purdy Funeral Service

Purdy Funeral Service has been a trusted provider of compassionate funeral and cremation services for families in Lee, Dover, and the surrounding New Hampshire communities for many years. Operating from two conveniently located facilities—the Wiggin-Purdy-McCooey-Dion Funeral Home at 655 Central Avenue in Dover and the Purdy Memorial Chapel at 2 Concord Road in Lee—the dedicated staff is committed to guiding families through every step of creating meaningful ceremonies that honor the life and memory of loved ones.

At the Purdy Memorial Chapel in Lee, families find a warm, accessible environment featuring a wheelchair‑accessible entrance and parking lot, along with an onsite chapel for services. The facility is part of a broader network that includes a versatile reception center capable of accommodating groups large and small, as well as a state‑of‑the‑art onsite crematory that ensures loved ones never leave the care of the funeral home. For those wishing to memorialize a family member, a wide selection of monuments is available. Additionally, Purdy Funeral Service proudly offers pet loss services through Pet Passages, providing the same high standards of care and dignity to companion animals.

Services offered encompass traditional burial and cremation options, as well as personalized memorial services. The funeral directors assist with all necessary paperwork, transportation, and service arrangements, and they provide grief support resources to help families cope after loss. Pre‑planning services are also available, allowing individuals to make arrangements in advance to alleviate future burdens on loved ones.

Client testimonials consistently highlight the staff’s compassion, professionalism, and accommodating nature. Families have expressed deep appreciation for the respectful treatment received during difficult times, noting the team’s ability to make decision‑making less stressful and their willingness to go above and beyond—such as directing traffic to ease guests’ departure after services.

Purdy Funeral Service also offers ongoing support through free daily grief emails and weekly newsletters designed to provide comfort and guidance throughout the first year of loss. With a strong reputation built on years of dedicated service, the funeral home continues to serve as a pillar of support for the Dover and Lee communities.
