Today marked the beginning of our many ANZAC Services this week to commemorate all New Zealanders who served and died in the wars. It is always a privilege to be invited to take these services in the community to honour the service and sacrifice of the hero’s of our nation. Lest We Forget.

When someone dies, emotions run high and sometimes, so do misunderstandings.

Funeral directors across New Zealand are increasingly being drawn into family disputes they didn’t create, often simply for carrying out their legal responsibilities.

This opinion piece sheds light on what’s really behind these conflicts, who actually has the authority to make decisions, and why clearer conversations and planning matter more than ever.

WAVES is coming back for Term 2! We've loved having the opportunity to support and connect with those from our Term 1 class and help them through their journey with grief. And we're so honoured to be able to bring this back for Term 2, and help even mroe people navigate grief with compassion and connection.

Classes start on the 4th of May and will end on the 29th of June. If you are in the Tauranga area, or wider WBOP and can commit to meeting with us once a week for the duration of the course, don't hesitate to get in touch today for more information or to register your interest. We hope to see you there if you need this service and type of support 🧡💜💚
