The Coffin Club HB Inc Open Day Saturday 5th Oct - This weekend!!!

Cherie from Akina

We invite you to join us in celebrating our 10-year birthday on Saturday 5th of October from 10am - 2pm at The Old Netball Courts 707 Sylvan Rd, Parkvale Hastings

In addition to the display of coffins, ash boxes for the Hastings Crematorium, and baby coffins, there will be a free sausage sizzle, savouries, tea and coffee, fresh water, and fizzy drinks.

Along with the public, some of our guests are, Mayor Sandra Hazlehurst, local Funeral Directors, Pubs Charity, HDC Councilors, staff from Ati Rangi Maternity Hospital and a reporter from Hawke's Bay Today.
The Remote Control Car Club and Pickleball Club who share the facility will also be operating.

Over the past 10 years, we have provided numerous coffins and baby coffins for the community, but we couldn't have done it without the support of our local community and businesses.

Our club day is every Tuesday 9am - 12 noon. We are a friendly bunch, as you will see when you come along on Saturday.

Please do come and visit us, we would love to see you. Let's celebrate and let us show you that we are an affordable option for underground furniture. Reasonable prices and made with love.

We are a local club supporting our community, so do come to look around our facilities.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
