Pellow & Hill Funerals

Aims / Goals

Combining two trusted names into one modern, meaningful website

Weave partnered with Pellow & Hill to design and develop a custom website that united two of Hamilton’s most respected funeral homes—Pellows Funerals and James R Hill. The result is a modern, compassionate, and accessible digital presence that reflects the strength of both legacy brands and introduces their purpose-built new facility to the community.

Uniting tradition and progress under one roof

Pellow & Hill represents the merging of two long-standing names in funeral care. While each had its own unique history and loyal community, coming together gave them the opportunity to offer greater choice, scale, and facilities—while continuing to honour their shared values of care, dignity, and professionalism. Their new venue is a warm, welcoming space designed to support families with comfort, flexibility, and compassion.

Project goals included:

Introducing the Pellow & Hill name to the public with clarity and warmth
Communicating the benefits of two locations and the flexibility that brings to families
Showcasing their purpose-built facility and range of modern offerings
Designing a website that’s approachable, easy to navigate, and inclusive
Supporting the launch with content structure and storytelling that shares their new chapter

A website that reflects care and choice

Weave created a custom WordPress website to introduce Pellow & Hill and help guide families through their offerings, venues, and services. From showcasing their new contemporary location to sharing their story and values, the site is designed to be calm, clear, and supportive.

Website features include:

Fully responsive design across desktop, tablet, and mobile
Flexible service and venue pages to reflect the two locations
Easy-to-update CMS tailored to in-house staff needs
Intuitive navigation and page structure focused on user experience
SEO-optimised content and metadata setup
Custom-built obituary and tribute services
Keyword research and content strategy to support search visibility
Coffin and urn catalogue for families to browse options
Clear landing pages for each location and service area
Transparent pricing packages to support decision-making
Integrated video tours of facilities for remote visitors
Lead capture forms to help families connect with the team

We also supported the team in preparing content for the launch and open day, helping celebrate the coming together of two respected providers into one unified, future-ready brand. As part of the storytelling strategy, we art directed a series of brand overview and location-specific videos—designed to bring warmth, context, and connection to the new brand and venues.
