“Caring In Your Time Of Sorrow”

We are here to help and guide you through this difficult time. 

Our business is locally owned and community focused and we treat everyone the same, with care and understanding.

We can help you from the moment of a bereavement through to the final service.

You can come to us for advice and guidance in your decision-making, and you can trust us with all the necessary arrangements.

We will listen to you and transform your ideas into reality to create a meaningful and reflecting service of farewell for your loved one. 

Our role is not to tell grieving families what to do, we are here to advise and carry out their wishes, the choices made are the families choices not ours as funeral directors.

​We offer personalised individual care to suit your needs:

• Funeral service to reflect the individual wishes of each family
• Graveside, public, private or memorial service
• Inserting notices in local, national papers
• Liaising with clergy, celebrant, cemetery and crematorium officials

Whether you are planning a large, small or private service, we can provide a venue to suit your needs.

​

Ranging from traditional church settings or garden venues to purpose built function centres or graveside services, and can arrange to use any facilities in and around Southland. 

We will take care of all the details, liaise with local entities to provide a complete service, including flowers, personalised service sheets, clergy or celebrant, location, graveside service, catering, crematorium, tributes, cemetery plot and monumental stones.

Although we are based in Southland we respond with equal care and attention to any family that asks for our assistance to bring a loved one home for a funeral service. We have been proud to assist families from many places in New Zealand including Otago, Southland, Canterbury and Fiordland.
