This International Women's Day, we're celebrating the strength, compassion, and resilience of the women who shape our Christchurch community. 🌸

At Simplicity, we see every day the quiet leadership and love women bring to their families, especially during life's most challenging moments. Today, we say thank you.

Dear Team Simplicity 🐾
This week was the first time in a while that I was almost looking forward to my winter sweater . We even have the fire going today. I think it’s too early in the year, but it’s definitely cold enough. Mum said to celebrate we can watch a trashy movie tonight and cuddle up on the couch and have snacks. Sounds like heaven to me! I love sharing my couch and the snacks🥫with my favourite people! Wanna join us?
Love, Belle ❤️

Wee Loki is on the clock! 🐶💻📱

Meet Loki! (Nina/Mums Furbaby) - While she looks quite focused, she’s helping us explain what happens behind the scenes after you make that initial call to us.

Last time, Teddie the Chihuahua 🐾was manning the phones, but Loki is here to show you what our team is doing while you take a much-needed moment for yourself when you make that first call to us, we’ll often suggest "touching base in the morning."
It’s not just a delay - it’s a gift of time it's time for you to exhale, gather your thoughts, and look after your own needs while we handle the rest.

While you are taking that time for yourself, Loki 🐾 and the rest of the team are working hard for you.

What are we doing while you rest?
✨Making contact with the hospital or rest home.
✨Bringing your loved one safely into our care.
✨Obtaining and checking the paperwork to ensure everything is correct.

You focus on being human; we’ll focus on the highest standard of care for your loved one.

Dear Team Simplicity 🐾🐾
I was in a thinking mood this week. What were you thinking, sweet Belle? I hear you say. Thank you for asking. I was thinking that there are two kinds of favourite things in my life: the first ones are those you can’t nose boop: love, wind around the ears on a car ride, an unexpected walk on the beach, the feeling of finding that bone you had hidden in the garden 2 years earlier. And then there are the things you can nose boop: mum & mum, a comfy couch, a blankie when it’s cold, my favourite ice block.

But what do you do with the things you should be able to nose boop (like dinner) but can’t? In this case I just make my saddest 🥹 face until mum realises she is 2 minutes late. Usually that makes the food go from non-boopable to boopable. Great trick, ey?

Love, Belle ❤️❤️❤️

Floating on the breeze. 🫧

Personalisation:
is at the heart of what we do. Last week, we assisted a family in creating a truly special indoor service for a young man, featuring bubble machines that filled the chapel with floating bubbles that drifted through the room, creating a moment of pure, shimmering peace for everyone in attendance.

A simple yet stunning way to personalise a final tribute. ❤️

We are here to help you share their story, your way.

It’s incredible how the right setting can transform a farewell into a truly memorable tribute. Whether you are overlooking the Port Hills or gathered in a favourite outdoor space, the scenery shouldn't come at the cost of the experience.

We know that when you're outdoors, being able to see and hear every tribute is paramount. That’s why we offer a professional-grade 3.5m wide LED Wall. With a massive 5000nits of brightness, it’s designed specifically for the Canterbury sun, ensuring that every photo and video is crystal clear, even in the middle of the day.

To make sure everything runs seamlessly:
Fully Adjustable: The screen height can be tailored to the venue so everyone has a clear line of sight.
Expert AV Crew: The team handles the setup and operation, so you can focus on being with family.
Off-Grid Capable: We can even operate in remote locations where there is no power available.

At Simplicity Funerals Christchurch, we believe in removing the technical stress so you can celebrate a life in the way that feels most authentic to them.

Dear Team Simplicity 🐾🐾
Mum asked me earlier this week if I wanted to be her Valentine. And of course I said yes. Now imagine my surprise when I was asked again – by my other mum, just a day later. Of course I said yes, and we decided to make a Valentine’s day trio, because for each of us the other 2 are the most important. And it turned out perfectly! First there was a breakfast with very special pancakes (with cream and berries 🫐 and all the good stuff), and then there was a long walk on the beach – because it was supposed to rain but didn’t – and then there was ice cream on the way back. I can’t remember much of the rest of the day because I was pooped and needed my beauty sleep, which was rudely interrupted by dinner.
Hope you had just as perfect a day!
Love, Belle ❤️

Happy Birthday, Nina! 🎂

Today we are pausing to celebrate a very special member of the Simplicity Funerals Christchurch family—our wonderful Assistant Manager, Funeral Director, and official "work mum," Nina!

Nina is the glue that holds our team together. Whether she’s guiding a family through a difficult time, or making sure the rest of us have actually remembered to eat lunch, she does it all with a smile and a heart of gold.

We are so lucky to have your leadership and your kindness, Nina. We hope your day is filled with as much love as you give to our community every single day.

Please join us in wishing Nina a very Happy Birthday in the comments below! 💐✨
