Our local cemeteries are more than resting places - they are spaces of the community’s history.

Every headstone tells a story. From pioneers who built Waipā, the families who shaped our traditions, and loved ones whose legacies still guide us today. These special spaces remind us that our community is built on generations of care, resilience, and connection.

There’s a myth that healing means letting go. But for many grieving people, staying connected in small, personal ways brings comfort.
For some, that connection might be cooking a favourite meal or baking a pavlova that reminds them of loved ones. Others might hang a special ornament, light a candle, volunteer in their honour, or start completely new traditions because the old ones feel too hard right now.

There is no right way to remember someone you love. This season, choose whatever feels honest, gentle, and meaningful for you.

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!

A bit about us...

The way we see it, funeral services are all about you and the person you are honoring. They are a time to say goodbye in a way that is special to you.

Our primary role is to go quietly about our business, guiding and supporting you – ensuring a fitting send-off, no matter your budget.

Nothing gives us more pleasure than knowing we have helped to ease a family's suffering and grief. We love hearing that we’ve made the funeral process one where they feel fully informed and involved. The more involvement from family, the more personalised the service becomes.

There is no set way - don’t settle for "it's always been done this way" funeral services, when there are so many options available to you at a price you can afford. Talk to us today for refreshing, professional and dignified care. Nothing is too much to ask.
