We were honoured to look after a private family farewell, a quiet, heartfelt time together to say goodbye in their own way.

After the service, the family headed down to the beach, a well‑loved spot where many picnics had been shared over the years. They took the casket spray with them, and each chose a flower to place into the ocean, a simple, touching way to remember someone who meant so much.

We later received a lovely message of thanks, along with these photos, which the family have kindly allowed us to share.

Saying goodbye is never easy, but there are many gentle, meaningful ways to remember a life that’s been lived and loved.

Gin had a wonderful day enjoying a play in the sun... she managed to find a 'wee' stick to keep her entertained 😄

A few weeks ago, Casey was looking after a funeral in Stratford. When they arrived at the cemetery, the grandchildren were curious about what would happen next.
Casey spent time with them, gently explaining what was going on and answering their questions in a way they could understand.

We know that everyone experiences grief differently, and that includes children. Taking the time to help them understand what’s happening can be an important part of helping them feel safe and supported. Grief and loss are part of love and part of life.

This moment was captured by a family member, and the photo is shared with their permission. 💙

On ANZAC Day, we pause with gratitude for the privilege of living in the country we do, mindful of a world still marked by disruption and heartache. We remember those who served and sacrificed for our freedom.
Today, we took the opportunity to wander through the Servicemen’s Section of Te Henui Cemetery, always beautifully maintained, and a tranquil place to reflect and remember.
“At the going down of the sun, and in the morning, we will remember them.”

Seeing the ripples reflect on the ceiling today, Anzac Day, seems rather symbolic. A reminder to reflect on the human sacrifice of war and remember those whose lives were lost.

Our team at Eagars Funerals have sadly been made aware of an online scammer posing as a funeral director by sharing livestream details on social media. The scam requests Credit Card details to view and download the livestream.

If our families have asked for us to arrange for the service to be livestreamed Eagars Funerals will NEVER ask for credit card details. If you are ever unsure please call our office 067592200.

Not everyone wants a big send off.
This is a simple space where families can come together, have a bit of quiet, and do things their way.
