Keep your loved one close to you
The staff at Avenal Park Funeral Home are here to support you before, during and after the death of your loved one.
Memorial jewellery is an unique, special and extraordinary way to keep your loved one with you forever. We have a range of memorial jewellery; from fingerprint pendants to jewellery containing a precious note, a lock of hair or the ashes of your loved one. We can assist you with the selection and ordering process.
We offer families choices – to suit your personal needs and wants. From preplanning and prearranging of funerals, to caring for families suffering from a loss of a loved one, through to planning and designing memorial plaques to headstones, we are here to help.
If you would like to talk to someone about memorial jewellery, prearrangements, funerals or monumental options, please contact Nigel, Donna, Chris or Mel at Avenal Park Funeral Home.

Live Q&A: Garden maintenance with Crewcut
This Wednesday, we are having another Neighbourly Q&A session. This time with John Bracewell from Crewcut.
John Bracewell, former Black Caps coach turned Franchisee Development Manager and currently the face of Crewcut’s #Movember campaign, knows a thing or two about keeping the grass looking sharp—whether it’s on a cricket pitch or in your backyard!
As a seasoned Crewcut franchisee, John is excited to answer your lawn and gardening questions. After years of perfecting the greens on the field, he's ready to share tips on how to knock your garden out of the park. Let's just say he’s as passionate about lush lawns as he is about a good game of cricket!
John is happy to answer questions about lawn mowing, tree/hedge trimming, tidying your garden, ride on mowing, you name it! He'll be online on Wednesday, 27th of November to answer them all.
