Open Day – Sunday 7 April 2019
If you have questions, we have answers.
As part of the Take the Time to Talk Awareness Week, Avenal Park Funeral Home are holding an open day on Sunday 7 April 2019 from 1.00pm to 3.00pm.
Everyone has a story that deserves to be told and shared. It is important to have conversations about your life and your funeral with your family, so that those close to you know what you want.
We encourage people to ask questions and have a look around our premises. We regularly encounter misinformation about what we do and the funeral process. This is an opportunity for you to see behind the scenes and learn how you can help your family.
There will be displays of coffins, urns, memorial jewellery and our monumental masonry area. You can also discuss the prearranging and prepaying of funerals with our staff.
Local celebrants, our caterer, the Loss and Grief Centre, Cancer Society and other local organisations will be there for you to talk to.
We look forward to seeing you on Sunday 7 April 2019 at Avenal Park Funeral Home, 75 Fox Street, Invercargill.
If you are unable to be there on the day, you are more than welcome to contact us on 03 218 9021 to arrange another day and time.
Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?

9.4% For. Self-service is less frustrating and convenient.
-
43.6% I want to be able to choose.
-
47.1% Against. I want to deal with people.
Time to Tickle Your Thinker 🧠
If a zookeeper had 100 pairs of animals in her zoo, and two pairs of babies are born for each one of the original animals, then (sadly) 23 animals don’t survive, how many animals do you have left in total?
