We often say that funerals are for the living!! Saying goodbye is vital for the grieving process. Link in the comments.

Will be forever grateful to Ken and Deirdre for allowing us to be part of Andy's story

How one man's obsession with the Fonterra milk truck left a profound mark on his community.

We have recently held a couple of funerals at our Dinsdale Chapel, one for a Ford fanatic, the other for a crane operator! There is no right or wrong way to honour your loved one… do what’s right for you!

When faced with arranging a funeral, most people aren't sure what to expect or what standards of service they should look for. Whether you're planning ahead or making arrangements during a difficult time, understanding professional funeral service standards can help you make informed decisions.

First and foremost, you should expect clear, honest communication. A professional funeral director will provide detailed information about their services and costs upfront, including a written estimate. This transparency helps you make decisions without the stress of unexpected charges later.

Not all funerals are the same. A Celebration of Life service might have a more relaxed vibe. You might see bright colours or specific colours requested by the family, smart casual attire, personalised styling like team jerseys, and favourite colours of the deceased. Celebrating a loved one’s life can be colourful and unique.
