We are honoured to share that Davis Funerals is now a proud corporate partner of the Starship Foundation.

People and community sit at the centre of everything we do. Every day, our team walks alongside families of all ages, supporting them through life’s most meaningful moments. Partnering with Starship feels like a natural extension of that purpose.

Starship’s unwavering commitment to delivering world-class paediatric care for children and young people across Aotearoa is something we deeply admire. It’s a mission that changes lives, strengthens families, and builds a healthier future for our communities.

“At the heart of our business, Davis is all about people, connecting people, supporting people of all ages to get the most out of life and through doing this strengthening communities. We are proud and humbled to support Starship Foundation in their relentless quest to deliver the highest quality paediatric healthcare.”

Funeral Directors Josephine, Stella and Millie recently helped our partners at Starship Foundation out by packing stockings for children that are in hospital. There was a room full of donated gifts and they were given Santa sacks with the name, age and gender of the child they were packing for on it. Then they got to go crazy, filling the sacks with the things they thought that child would like. ‘Santa’ then took them and delivered them to the children on the ward. The ladies felt so rewarded, knowing they had helped in some way to spread Christmas cheer.

On December 3, we held our Davis Funerals Christmas Memorial Service, and we’re still feeling incredibly grateful.

Even with wild weather rolling in, a stormy, rainy night, around 115 people joined us to pause, reflect, and remember. There was something quietly powerful about seeing the room filled with familiar faces… and especially meaningful knowing many families have come back for their second and third year in a row. That kind of return reminds us what this service means: a safe, gentle place to honour those we’re missing at Christmas.

We’d also like to sincerely acknowledge a few special people who helped make the evening what it was, all giving their time and care voluntarily, which is an extraordinary gift:

❤️ Celebrant: Keith King

❤️ Organist: Bruce McGrail

❤️ Catering: Gattings - gattings.co.nz

Thank you for showing up with such generosity and care Please consider giving them a follow and a thank you as well.

To everyone who joined us, whether you came with family, a friend, or quietly on your own, thank you for trusting us with your memories.

Lights to Remember | An Evening of Love & Light ❤️

The grounds of Te Korowai Atawhai Mercy Hospice glowed with something far deeper than Christmas lights, they glowed with remembrance.

Davis Funerals is proud to sponsor Lights to Remember, a truly special community event where families and friends gather to pause, reflect, and honour those we carry with us. With a beautiful choir, a moving violin performance, and heartfelt words from Mike from Davis Funerals, the evening reminded us that love doesn’t end, it changes shape, and it stays.

Throughout December, selected trees at Mercy Hospice are adorned with thousands of cascading lights, each one representing an enduring bond with a loved one. When you dedicate a light, you’re not only creating a tribute, you’re also helping Mercy Hospice continue supporting people and families facing life-limiting illness.

Since 2021, supporters have gathered in early December for this magical switch-on: an evening of light, music, community, and gentle remembering.
