For the 5th year running, we’re keeping the holiday spirit alive with our Travelling Carollers, spreading festive cheer at retirement villages across Auckland! We’re thrilled to offer 20 performances that bring joy to both residents and staff. Each session blends traditional and contemporary carols, so everyone gets to hear their favourites. This year, we even welcomed 2 original carollers from our 2019 group! It’s such a special tradition, and we’re proud to give back to our local communities during this joyful season.

We are proud to announce the signing of a Gold Partnership with Hospice West Auckland. This agreement marks a new chapter in Davis Funerals’ extensive history supporting Hospice West Auckland.

Founded in 1985 as a registered charitable trust, Hospice West Auckland provides free specialist palliative care to the wider West Auckland region through holistic care that focuses on dignity, compassion, and optimising quality of life. “The high standard of care and support we provide to patients, whānau and caregivers is made possible through the generosity of our supporters, and we are deeply grateful to the Davis Funerals team for recognising and enabling this,” says Hospice West Auckland CEO, Dean Kelly. “This partnership will have a significant impact on our ability to continue supporting our West Auckland community in their times of need.”

For over 80 years we have provided memorable and meaningful funeral services for New Zealand families. As one of Auckland’s most trusted funeral providers, we specialise in creating unique legacies of compassion and support for families, serving the community with respect and dignity.

This Gold Partnership agreement is a reflection of both organisations’ shared values and commitment to supporting the West Auckland community when it is needed most. “We are excited to see this further advancement in the long standing, and deeply valued relationship which Davis has enjoyed with Hospice West Auckland.” Michael Powell (General Manager, Davis Funerals).

This is one of 3 new Mercedes Benz E250 Oceania hearses. Specifically built for the New Zealand and Australian market by Pilato sPa in Italy. The vehicles are mild hybrid ensuring smooth quiet performance, outstanding  fuel economy whilst minimising emissions and harm to the environment. General Manager, Michael Powell said the purchase and specification of a new hearse fleet required a lot of planning, and when looking for the replacement vehicles for our aging Cadillac fleet, we wanted modern cars, that were appropriate to the occasion yet looked sleek and sophisticated in an understated way. The Mercedes are shortly to be joined by two new Chrysler 300C hearses.

With a long association, assisting the community and families in Waiheke at their times of need, Davis Funerals were delighted to renew and reinvigorate our support and sponsorship of the Waiheke Community Art Gallery, and the Members Show which opened on Friday night. This year’s theme was “Home” and showcased a stunning, beautiful exhibition of colour, a variety of mediums, with some pieces thought provoking, some humorous and much more! We were excited to attend the opening event and mingle with the talented artists who had work on display.
