Lamb and Hayward

Proudly Canterbury owned since 1923 and the first funeral home to achieve a Consumer NZ Trusted accreditation. Full catering services are available on site.

The now iconic Westpark Chapel at 467 Wairakei Road, Burnside was opened in 1971 and extensively refurbished in 2009. The large chapel seats 220 comfortably, and can accommodate another 300 standing or viewing the service on the lounge screens. A glass wall at the eastern end looks out to a tranquil garden providing a calming environment to contemplate during the service. The chapel is lined in ri

mu timber and has midnight blue carpet, Lamb & Hayward's trademark colour. Watercolour paintings of local and South Island scenes by Christchurch artist Kelvin McMillan are a special feature of Westpark. The adjacent William Lounge, named after our three original founders, provides a perfect venue for refreshments after the funeral service. Following a recent upgrade of its state-of-the-art audiovisual equipment, Westpark now has a large retractable screen to show the DVD tributes that feature at many services today. The car parking area has a capacity for over 100 cars. The trees and lawns, together with the lake, its fountain and visiting ducks, create a truly unique setting.

During NZ Music Month, we’re reminded of the way music helps hold our feelings. Whether sung together or listened to quietly, music can support us as we remember those we care about.

At Lamb & Hayward, all our venues are equipped with a premium sound system for clear, high-quality audio. We’re here to help you choose what brings comfort. The choice is yours as to what feels right - because life is important.
