Unbelievable send off for an absolute top man (recently). Trucks rolled by, parking all arranged for them to send off their mate. TV's and audio outside. Just awesome.

Road safety is something that we should always be vigilant about, but like to give our friends an extra reminder about, every public holiday weekend. The roads are busier on public holiday weekends, many people choose to take the opportunity to travel. Please be careful when and if you’re out and about this weekend. We hope the sunshine hangs around!

Meet Jonathon.

He, like his family, is devoted to his community. He’s a funeral director and embalmer here at South Taranaki Funeral Services. Raised by a dedicated police constable (dad) and a teacher (mum), and with a sister who is a nurse, it’s no surprise that Jonathon’s found himself in a community-focused career. He loves music and sport, and likes to make the most of any opportunity to be outdoors exploring our fantastic region. If you’re in town next week, pop by to say hello!

Thankyou for your professional service at this time. But most of all your kindness and empathy. The care you have given our whole family. What's special is the individuality of care you have given to our family. With gratitude. Thankyou.

Glenn recently caught up with Garth Weir to chat about the importance of getting checked for prostate cancer. September is prostate cancer awareness month and a check can be as simple as a blood test. Men, please get checked! Everyone else, please encourage the men in your life to get checked!

Thank you to everyone who attended our Little Angels Remembrance Service last night, both in remembrance of their little angel and in support of Maelie. There was a very special feeling in the room and we were grateful to be able to do this for and with you all ❤️

Too many men die of embarrassment because they don’t want to get their prostate checked. It’s Blue September and the South Taranaki Club is hosting a fundraising breakfast and donating the proceeds to the Prostate Cancer Foundation. It’s this Saturday 13th September 9:00am start (it’s definitely 9:00am, please ignore the time in the video) and you could win this fantastic hamper, it’s jam-packed with goodies worth more than $400!

If you can’t make to breakfast that’s no problem but please take the time to get checked (it may just need to be a blood test!) or to encourage someone you love to get checked, because it’s just not worth dying of embarrassment!
