Respect their final journey.

When you see a hearse or funeral procession, remember that this is someone’s last journey, and for their loved ones, it’s a deeply significant moment.

Please pause and show respect. Slow down. Allow the procession to stay together. A little patience and kindness go a long way in honouring a life and supporting grieving families.

Thank you for helping us honour life, love, and loss with dignity.🕊

Movember is the month when we stand in support of men’s health, a cause that affects so many lives, including those in our own community.

As funeral directors, we see firsthand how important it is to talk about mental health, check in on one another, and seek help when it’s needed.

We’d also like to take a moment to show our support for our friend and former funeral director, William Johnston, who is growing his mo, giving up some salty snacks and doing 50 push-ups every second day this month.

All the best, William, and good luck this month.

May your mo be mighty, your push-ups painless, and your snacks be enjoyed on the 1st December

Sometimes it’s the little things that connect us most.

When local Pirongia volunteer firefighter and community legend Darryn Yates discovered his letterbox had gone missing last week, it wasn’t just about lost mail, it was about losing a small piece of connection to the place he has served so selflessly for the past 17 years.

When we heard this, we didn't hesitate to jump straight in and replace it for Darryn.

A small gesture to give back to someone who’s given so much to our community.

Just in time for all those Christmas cards to come flooding in right Darryn!
