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.

Poll: Would you want an unconventional funeral?
Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving. Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.
