𝗛𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗗𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵 𝗖𝗮𝗳é? It’s a friendly space where people can talk openly about death and dying — no agenda, just honest conversation over a cuppa. It’s not counselling, but a chance to explore a topic that touches us all.

Several North Shore libraries host monthly sessions, including Glenfield, Birkenhead, East Coast Bays (Browns Bay) and Takapuna. To find one near you, check your local library events or visit deathcafe.com.

What we leave behind is found in the lives we touch and the love we share. Each connection and every shared moment are the threads that continue to weave our story long after we’re gone.

Used in place of, or alongside, a newspaper notice, a social media tribute can be a meaningful way to share a loved one’s passing and funeral details — with room for memories, stories, and photos.

𝗧𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘀𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮 𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗯𝘂𝘁𝗲𝘀:
⭐️ Start with a heartfelt message — share who they were, their passions, or what made them special.
⭐️ Include key family details if you wish, e.g. spouse, children, grandchildren.
⭐️ Add funeral or memorial information if you want people to attend or send condolences.
⭐️ Share photos, videos, or favourite memories to celebrate their life.
⭐️ Consider whether your post will be 𝘱𝘶𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘤 or limited to family and friends.

Writing an obituary (or death notice) for the newspaper can be a special way to honour your loved one — sharing not only the details of their passing, but a glimpse of the life they lived. We can place your notice in newspapers across New Zealand.

𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗽𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝘄𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗶𝗽𝘀:
➤ Start with a simple statement about the death, including their full name (and any nicknames), age, and the date and place of their passing.
➤ List close family members such as spouse, children, or grandchildren.
➤ Add a short tribute line — 𝘍𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘥 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘳𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘮𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘥.
➤ Include details of the funeral or memorial service.
➤ Mention any special requests — 𝘐𝘯 𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘶 𝘰𝘧 𝘧𝘭𝘰𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘴, 𝘥𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘴 𝘵𝘰 [𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘯𝘢𝘮𝘦] 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘣𝘦 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘳𝘦𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥.

In grief, we often find ourselves replaying the brief moments we shared, wishing we had more time, more conversations, more memories. Saying goodbye isn’t something that happens in an instant – it lingers in our hearts and shapes the way we carry their memory every day.

When we lose a loved one, sharing funeral details with family & friends can feel overwhelming. Phone calls are best for close family, especially elderly relatives.

While newspaper obituaries remain a valued way to share details widely, social media, email, and text messages are increasingly being used to reach extended family, friends, and acquaintances quickly.

Deciding whether to visit the resting place of a loved one is deeply personal. For some, visiting can bring a sense of closeness, spark cherished memories, and provide comfort.

Grief is unique to everyone, and there’s no right or wrong way to approach it. Some people visit often, some occasionally, and others may choose not to visit at all. What matters most is remembering your loved one in a way that feels meaningful to you.
