Create a lasting and fitting tribute
As well as being honoured to look after families during the funeral process, Avenal Park Funeral Home can also assist Southland and Otago families in organising a lasting memorial through our monumental masons. We specialise in a wide range of memorial tributes. From unique, specially carved memorials through to traditional granite headstones, cremation and burial plaques. We can also order tiles and photos to accompany your design.
Avenal Park Funeral Home recognises every family we look after is unique and their situation is different. Memorials are available in a range of sizes and colours to suit all budgets. Let us know your thoughts and we can custom design a memorial for you. We listen to what you want.
A quote can be given prior to work commencing. At every stage, from the initial design, through to checking of the layout prior to the blasting of the stone, families are involved in the process. We are members of the New Zealand Master Monumental Masons Association, so you can be assured we offer a high standard of service and products.
Please do not hesitate in contacting us to discuss this further. You can phone us on 03 218 9021, email office@avenalpark.co.nz or visit our showroom at 75 Fox Street, Invercargill.

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15% ... It is complicated
