It was a privilege to care for Graham Bell QSM and to support his beloved family during this time.

Yesterday’s service in Whitianga was a heartfelt celebration of his life — full of love, laughter, and the deep respect of so many who served alongside him.

Known to many as the host of 'Police Ten 7', Graham was much more: a devoted husband and father, a larger-than-life detective, and a tireless champion for victims of crime. His strength, honesty, and compassion will never be forgotten. 🌹

A memorial is more than a farewell — it’s a celebration of love, memories, and legacy.

Whether you choose a chapel, church, or a cherished outdoor setting, a memorial service offers a space for family and friends to remember, grieve, and honour the person who meant so much.
Let us help you create a meaningful moment that truly reflects their life.

For the first time in its 112-year history, the Chelsea Flower Show features a funeral floristry exhibit - and it’s rewriting the language of loss. 🌹

Willow coffins, walking boots filled with blooms, a violin overflowing with flowers. Not plastic. Not traditional. Just natural, meaningful beauty.

Created by The Farewell Flowers Directory, this gold medal-winning display invites us to rethink how we say goodbye — with wild, seasonal flowers and without plastic or waste.

Grief can be tender. Remembrance can be sustainable. And funeral flowers? They can be whatever you want them to be.
