Please take care on the roads, only drive if it’s absolutely necessarily, stay dry, keep warm and if possible check in on your neighbours.

🎁The best gift, at any stage of life is the gift of preparedness.
All you need is a shoe box, and a notebook.
Start adding information about yourself.

For example you might include:

Life insurance details
A copy of your will
Laywers details
Your doctors name
Your birth certificate
Marriage certificate
Funeral plans
Burial wishes, cremation or burial?

As you gather information you will be inspired to think of other important details.

Talk as a whanau/family about personal prepardness 🎁

Your loved ones will be forever grateful for this gift 🥰

December is nearly here! Let’s take good care of each, spend time together and slow down 🤗

Recently we have been teaching our daughter to drive, she’s a logical thinker and a fast learner, she just needed someone to encourage her and tell her she is doing an amazing job - and she was!

We know that the families that come to us need that same gentle approach, grief can immobilise you yet, if someone is by your side you can get through the next few days, and then the next and the next.

Whittakers Funeral Home
We don’t push, we quietly support you, and make the hardest farewells that much easier.

Trust us.
12 plus years experience
Near or far we can make a plan.

Eldon and I place great importance on honouring our ancestry, and therefore we consider it a privilege to use the Whittaker name.
The name Whittaker is synonymous with trust, dignity, compassion, and honesty.

Allow our family to care for your family with the same values.
