Hope and Sons Funeral Directors

You have told us how it helped seeing the person after they had died. How good it was to hear stories, and memories, and remember together. How you gained support from those around you, from friends and family. You have told us how hard that final farewell was, but also that it was very important to begin to let go.

At Hope and Sons we recognise and embrace each person for their unique fingerprint of life. We are committed to guiding and overseeing a farewell that is as exceptional, and as special as the person we are remembering.

Over our decades of service we have helped and served families in Dunedin, its surrounds, and throughout the Otago and Southland regions, forming many friendships along the way. Hope and Sons has its company offices, chapel, and reception lounge on the corner of Andersons Bay Road and Oxford Street, Dunedin. It also has premises at Middleton Road, Dunedin, Tiverton Street, Palmerston, Dukes Road North, Mosgiel, and Gordon Road, Mosgiel.
