Helping navigate each journey
The death of someone close to us results in an inevitable journey we must all experience called “grief”. It will be very different for each of us but regrettably, there is no way to avoid it. Since the dawn of time, cultures and religions have developed their own unique approach to deal with their grief. This generally starts with the funeral.
Because each person’s journey takes a different route, we help you navigate your own personal pathway. By offering guidance and support, we help you reach the destination you need by curating the right funeral for you and your loved one. Our experienced, respectful funeral directors are always, reliably there for you as you travel this road.

We offer a beautiful range of caskets and urns. Our New Zealand-made caskets and urns use natural New Zealand materials, and you can choose a style that best reflects your loved one. Suitable for all budgets, there are contemporary, traditional and simple designs available, plus eco-friendly options. You can even personalise the casket by having a digital image of your choice printed onto it. In most cases, there will be a matching urn available. We offer both wooden and ceramic urns and also carry a range of bespoke handmade pieces.
If being environmentally conscious is important to you and your loved one, we’re able to offer complete eco-friendly funeral services. If you choose cremation, our state-of-the-art crematorium has been sourced from a US company with a strong environmental focus. This allows us to provide more environmentally-friendly cremations. Our eco-friendly funeral options include no embalming, alternatives to standard embalming and recommendations for eco burial sites in Auckland. We also exclusively offer caskets made from sustainable materials and can provide a unique eco-friendly urn to return your loved one’s ashes in, as an alternative to the traditional plastic urns. If you have any questions about eco-friendly funerals, we’re always here to talk.
A memorial book is a beautiful way to capture your loved one’s life. Simply provide us with photos, tributes, obituary notices and any other details that you’d like included and we’ll design a high quality personalised memorial book for you. Inside the memorial book, we can leave space for friends and family that attended the funeral to leave messages of love and share their memories of your loved one. This makes this handcrafted and beautifully presented memorial book a lasting record of both your loved one and of their final goodbye.
