“What would help your family feel they’ve said goodbye properly?”

When someone says, “𝑛𝑜 𝑓𝑢𝑠𝑠, 𝑗𝑢𝑠𝑡 𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛,” it’s worth asking:
“What would help your family feel they’ve said goodbye properly?”

One family found the answer in a simple gathering with music and a meal — giving him the farewell he wanted, and his family the chance to grieve together.

Nearly 𝟖𝟎% 𝐨𝐟 𝐟𝐚𝐦𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐬𝐚𝐲 𝐟𝐮𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐦 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥. Skipping that moment can make grief harder.

was treated like a king on his latest visit to Relish Cafe. After a busy week of meeting and greeting people at the funeral home it's one of his favourite spots to unwind :)

Just over a week since our Quiz Night here at Waikanae Funeral Home which raised over $1403 for Mary Potter Hospice. A huge thank you to Relish Cafe for donating the food; Symon O'Hagan for being our Quiz Master; and to everyone who came along and helped raise some much needed funds. Many asked if this would become a regular event... watch this space!!
