Memorials – headstones and plaques
It doesn’t matter who conducted the funeral or how long ago it was: Avenal Park Funeral Home is here to help.
Memorial headstones can be as individual and personalised as the lives they commemorate. Each headstone or plaque is engraved and decorated to reflect the personality of your loved one.
At every stage, from your initial ideas, to the final design, through to checking of the layout prior to the blasting of the stone, you are involved in the process. Quotes can be given prior to work commencing. 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. We also clean, repair and restore existing headstones and plaques throughout Southland.
You can contact Avenal Park Funeral Home on 0800 033 925, email us office@avenalpark.co.nz or visit our showroom at 75 Fox Street, Invercargill to discuss options.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
38.3% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
61.7% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
