Funeral home

Browns Bay Forrest Funerals were totally professional and empathetic when they helped my family prepare for and deliver my mothers funeral. They went out of their way to create a funeral booklet that we were happy with and on the day the flowers, chapel room and refreshments were all that we could have hoped for. A special heartfelt thank you to our wonderful funeral director Matt.

Highly recommend Terry Longley & Son. Great communication and professional in all aspects. Terry is very helpful and caring, you can be sure that a difficult time will be made beautiful.

Thank you for your kindness , support and professionalism. You listened to what we needed. You were available every step of the way. Dean Hughes, you are incredible. Thank you. Oli, Thank you for being with us on the day. Everything was perfect.

We had a terrible experience with my sisters funeral here. The Christian" minister Graham Harvey who presided over the funeral gossiped to his deranged sister about my family and she sent me several abusive emails a week after her funeral while I was grieving!?? She confirmed in the emails that "Minister" Harvey (her brother) had given her all the details/slander. I approached the funeral home about this and they apologised but did nothing and said it was out of their hands?? They could have taken SOME action to make sure this lunacy and unprofessionalism doesn't happen to other grieving families. Wouldn't recommend this place to anyone as they unable to provide any privacy and dignity for grieving families."

Our father passed away suddenly last Oct. Trish was excellent to deal with, arranging immediate transport of dad from the hospital to the funeral home. She then stepped in as celebrant and was extremely helpful and professional.What really let them down was the complete oversight of multiple things following. A possession went missing and we were told it somehow was accidentally put inside the coffin/kiln - HOW DOES THIS HAPPEN (no replacement or compensation offered) The death certificate had incorrect details entered, the funeral bill had incorrect details on it and also had to be amended, then the ashes weren't separated which was again specified on the paperwork the director filled out with the family. One mistake I can overlook, but it was one thing after another which in a very stressful, upsetting time is not what you need. Tbh I'm still very angry and disappointed 7mnths later

I have now used Lychway a couple of times and they never let me down. Graham and Glenn go over and above for the family and are always just a phone call away. I have used them last week and even though we could only have 10 people it was great. Again thanks Glenn you are one in a million.Maree

Just want to acknowledge and thank all the staff at Morrison's Funeral Home for helping my father and I host the most beautiful and flawlessly-executed service for my dearly departed mother. We especially want to thank Kaipara Solomon for ensuring that not a single detail was overlooked. His attention to detail, prompt responses, and genuine care from start to end, was exceptional! THANK YOU!!!

Thank You so much to the ladies at A Graceful Undertaking. You conducted yourselves with beauty, compassion and care during a very difficult lose. You felt like family from the fist meeting. Thank You.

The loss of our mother and mother in law recently meant we needed a Funeral Director and we were not sure where to go, so made a decision to talk to Legacy about our requirements, we new we were in good hands after just a few minutes talking to Fergus Keith who helped us to walk through what would happen and how we could achieve the outcome we desired. Fergus was happy to answer all our questions and guide us through this difficult time. Thank you Legacy and especially Fergus. You definitely exceeded our expectations. Kerry and Jan McCormick

Beauchamp Funeral Home in Palmerston North.In the past 12 months, June 2021 & June 2022 we had to say good bye to our parents, first our mum in 2021 and more recently our dad June 2022. We chose Beauchamp FH in 2021 on recommendation of very close family friends, as all family members are living overseas the service for mum had to be arranged from Australia as we were not able to fly to New Zealand due to COVID limitations. Mum’s funeral service was absolutely perfect, it was therefore not a difficult choice who to get involved when our dad past away in June 2022.This time as the organiser of dad’s service, I was able to enter New Zealand to be present in person and to be able to organise the service with the funeral director (Dale) face too face. All Beauchamp team members involved in this funeral service were very professional, easy to approach, very patient with all my queries and dealt with me in a very personal manner - from organising to execution of the funeral service we couldn’t have asked for more.I, we as a family, highly recommend Beauchamp Funeral Home in Palmerston North.
