Today we held another Christmas Service at a very welcoming residential care facility. The residents enjoyed the sparkle of traditional Christmas songs and uplifting Christmas story followed by the sweetest locally picked strawberries and chocolate Christmas slice from Olive Tree Catering. We were then very grateful to be spoilt with a huge Christmas lunch shout with all the trimmings from Lisa at Olive Tree. A great day had by all to begin the festive season. Thank you Lisa Pattillo, Olive Tree Catering.

December is our month to remember and honour loved ones with our Christmas Candlelighting and Remembrance Services beginning last night at St Peter’s Anglican Church in Katikati. It was a beautiful evening accompanied by the very talented St Peter’s singing group. Thank you to the attendee for kindly sharing your photos of the candles and thank you to St Peter’s Anglican Church for having us again. It is a privilege to provide support and comfort to the local community at a time of year that can be very difficult for grieving families.
Today we had the pleasure of providing our Christmas Service to the residents of Summerset by the Sea. We were very impressed with the singing. 🥰

Grief during the holidays can feel incredibly isolating — but you don’t have to walk through it alone.

This time of year can magnify the empty chairs, the missing voices, and the traditions that feel too heavy to carry. And yet, even in the middle of deep loss, moments of connection can offer gentle light.

Across Aotearoa, many funeral homes host remembrance services where you can sit quietly, light a candle, or simply be present with others who understand this kind of pain. These gatherings honour your loved one while giving you a safe space to breathe, remember, and feel supported.

On the hardest days, even noticing small moments — a warm breeze, birdsong, a favourite song — can provide a brief pause from the weight of grief. These tiny flickers of light don’t erase your loss, but they can help guide you through it.

If this season feels overwhelming, consider attending a remembrance service hosted by one of our member funeral directors. It’s a space to honour the person you love and to feel less alone.

You deserve compassion, connection, and a place to remember — especially at this time of year.
