Within Hastings NZ – We just got recognised as one of their top fans! 🎉

We’re proud to be doing things a little differently here in Hawke’s Bay.

At Tong & Peryer, we’re more than a funeral home, we’re the region’s only full-service end-of-life provider, supporting our community through every step of the journey.

From planning ahead and capturing personal wishes, to compassionate death doula support, meaningful funeral services, farewells for beloved pets, and ongoing grief care after a loss and creating legacies, we’re here for it all.

Because we believe end-of-life care shouldn’t start at the moment of loss… and it doesn’t end after the funeral.

It’s about giving families clarity, choice, and confidence, and continuing to support them as they navigate life after goodbye.

We’re incredibly proud to serve Hawke’s Bay in this way 💛

How do you want to be remembered?

It’s not something we often stop to think about, but taking the time to reflect can bring real clarity and comfort.

Workshop One: Meeting Your Own Mortality is a gentle, guided session designed to help you explore what matters most to you, and how that might be reflected in a meaningful farewell.

In this workshop, you’ll have the opportunity to:
✨ Reflect on your values and what’s important
✨ Explore your personal wishes
✨ Learn about modern and personalised funeral options
✨ Begin conversations that many people put off

There’s no pressure to decide anything, just space to think, reflect, and learn.
The first workshop is wednesday 20 May in Hastings NZ

Every life tells a story, and every farewell should honour it.

At Tong & Peryer, we believe funerals are more than a goodbye. They’re a chance to celebrate a life, share memories, and create moments that truly reflect the person behind them.

We believe the money we spend should reflect what matters most to us - our community.

Recently, the cost of advertising in the local newspaper increased to a point where it no longer felt right. Rather than passing that cost on to the families we serve, we’ve chosen a different path.

We’ve decided to redirect that investment back into the community where we belong, supporting local people, local clubs, and local connections.

As our first community share, we’re delighted to support an upcoming bowls competition at Hastings Kia Toa Bowling Club, proudly sponsoring one of the prizes. It’s a small way of giving back to a club that brings people together.

Here’s to keeping our support local and meaningful!

A new year doesn’t mean forgetting what’s been, or who we’ve lost.
It simply offers a quiet opportunity to keep going, carrying love with us into what comes next.

At Tong & Peryer, we know this time of year can feel different if you’re grieving. There is no right way to enter a new year, only the way that feels right for you.

As we approach the new year and it starts to unfold, may there be comfort, connection, and lighter feeling, even in the smallest of ways.

From all of us at Tong & Peryer, we wish you a gentle and hopeful New Year.

Christmas can hold many emotions.

For some, it’s a season of laughter, busy kitchens, and familiar traditions.
For others, it’s a little quieter, carrying memories of those who should be here but aren’t.

We see both sides of Christmas. We’re reminded how important it is to make space for connection, remembrance, and kindness, in whatever way feels right for you.

If you’re celebrating, we hope your home is full of whanau and those you love.
If you’re missing someone, please know you’re not alone.

From our family to yours, we wish you a gentle, meaningful Christmas.
