Father’s Day is a time to celebrate the love, guidance, and quiet strength of the fathers and father figures who have touched our lives. For those sharing the day with loved ones, we hope it is filled with meaningful moments. For those remembering a father who is no longer here, may treasured memories and enduring love bring comfort.

Today, we honour fathers and cherish the memories that keep them close, always.

A warm and welcoming space where families can gather, share memories, display treasured photos, and spend meaningful time together. The Kaiapoi cottage offers a comfortable and personal setting for family and friends when connection matters most.

We had the privilege of delivering some lovely daffodils across the area. It’s our way of supporting Daffodil day and helping brighten up the counter spaces of those receiving them.
Thank you to the John Rhind Kaiapoi Team for getting involved with the deliveries.

We are proud to be members of the FDANZ. It gives families true reassurance of dealing with a Funeral Home Held by real Standards and professional Teams. Part of those standards is giving a breakdown of funeral costs so you can make informed decisions about the celebration of your loved one’s life. We have funeral packages and custom options and are very happy to provide estimates for advance planning and at need funerals.

Funeral costs are often talked about in headlines and advertising, but do those figures reflect reality?

A recent survey by the Funeral Directors Association of New Zealand found that the average cost of a moderate funeral is around $11,700 for a cremation and $14,300 for a burial.

Every farewell is unique, but understanding the real costs can help you plan with confidence—not fear.

Now For Them is a funeral prepayment plan that lets you put money aside towards your own farewell through a Funeral Directors Association member funeral home.

What a great day at the North Canterbury Youth Futures Careers Expo! 🙌

We had a fantastic time meeting so many young people, having some great conversations and hopefully helping inspire a few ideas about future careers and opportunities.

And a special thank you to Amber for coming along and helping us out on the stand. It was great having you there!😊

A really worthwhile day and we’re already looking forward to the next one! 🚀

I’m so grateful to share that Woven Ash is now available at John Rhind Funeral Directors | Kaiapoi | North Canterbury

It means so much to have the Woven Ash memorial jewellery collection displayed in a place that supports families through life’s most difficult moments. Thank you to the wonderful team at John Rhind for giving Woven Ash a place within your beautiful space and for supporting my small New Zealand business.

If you’re in the Kaiapoi area, feel free to stop in and view a selection of keepsake pieces in person. Every piece is thoughtfully designed to help you keep someone special close, always.

Thank you again for this incredible opportunity. I’m so grateful for your trust and support.
