Thankyou for your professional service at this time. But most of all your kindness and empathy. The care you have given our whole family. What's special is the individuality of care you have given to our family. With gratitude. Thankyou.

It’s about time we re-introduced ourselves!

First up is Glenn.

Anyone who knows Glenn knows that he, as well as being a caring and supportive funeral director, is a caring and supportive member of our community. He pitches in wherever he can add value, we’re proud to be his team.

Glenn recently caught up with Garth Weir to chat about the importance of getting checked for prostate cancer. September is prostate cancer awareness month and a check can be as simple as a blood test. Men, please get checked! Everyone else, please encourage the men in your life to get checked!

Thank you to everyone who attended our Little Angels Remembrance Service last night, both in remembrance of their little angel and in support of Maelie. There was a very special feeling in the room and we were grateful to be able to do this for and with you all ❤️

Too many men die of embarrassment because they don’t want to get their prostate checked. It’s Blue September and the South Taranaki Club is hosting a fundraising breakfast and donating the proceeds to the Prostate Cancer Foundation. It’s this Saturday 13th September 9:00am start (it’s definitely 9:00am, please ignore the time in the video) and you could win this fantastic hamper, it’s jam-packed with goodies worth more than $400!

If you can’t make to breakfast that’s no problem but please take the time to get checked (it may just need to be a blood test!) or to encourage someone you love to get checked, because it’s just not worth dying of embarrassment!

Our Can the Hunger campaign has been more successful than we ever could have imagined it would be. We are so proud to be part of this community and to see everyone’s generosity. Meet Dex, he’s an amazing young man who wanted to do what he could to care for his community. We think he’s inspirational 😍
