Lychgate Funerals

As the Christmas season unfolds, we want to take a moment to thank everyone who joined us — both in person and online — for our Christmas Memorial Service.

This gathering is always one of the most heartfelt parts of our year. Coming together to remember loved ones, share stories, and light candles of hope reminds us just how strong and connected our community truly is.

We feel privileged to walk alongside our families, not only in moments of farewell but in the gentle days that follow. Offering this service is one of the many ways we continue to care, support, and honour the memories that mean so much.

Thank you for allowing us to be part of your journey. May the season bring you peace, comfort, and a little light when you need it most.

Please join us for our annual Christmas memorial service where we come together as a community to honour the lives of those we have lost. Christmas can highlight the empty spaces in our homes and hearts, and so we pause to remember, to reflect, and to support one another.

The rising of the Matariki star cluster is a time to honour those we have lost, and to reflect, be thankful and spend time with whānau and friends.

Why yes, it is a trifle nippy 😄 But the Lychgate team is out in force today collecting for the Mary Potter Hospice annual street appeal. We're outside the lovely Arobake with our bucket and our EFTPOS machine, ready to accept anything you might be able to donate to support the amazing work of the Hospice.
