As we celebrate Mother's Day, we express our heartfelt gratitude to all the incredible mothers who have nurtured, inspired, and loved us unconditionally. Today, we honor not only the mothers who are with us but also those who have passed before us. Their love and memories continue to guide us, filling our hearts with warmth and gratitude.

At Te Awahou and Otaki Funeral Services, we recognize the invaluable role of mothers in our lives and the lasting legacy they leave behind. Let's take a moment to reflect on their love, strength, and the cherished moments we shared.

To all the mothers, present and departed, thank you for everything. You are forever in our hearts. 🌷💖

We are saddened to see that our Foxton Cemetery has become a tagging site.

This is not ok and should not be happening at our local Cemetery.

If you done this you should be ashamed of yourself, this is no place for tagging.

If anyone seen or knows who done this please report to the police or council.
