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: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
