Every person has a story that deserves to be told, shared and remembered. Does your family know your story? Having a meaningful funeral gives everyone the chance to remember the person who has died, it is an opportunity to share their unique memories, and to receive support and comfort from others.
Have you ever attended a funeral ceremony that made you feel as if you knew the person more than you did before the service? The funeral and all the details were specifically designed to reflect the life of the loved one and allowed you to see into who they were and what they valued most – it was an opportunity to hear their story.
The funeral can take many forms, there is no right or wrong way to do it. There could be music and poems/prayers, tears and laughter. At its conclusion, there is a general feeling that it was a fitting send-off.
This is a meaningful funeral.
At Avenal Park Funeral Home the staff can assist you in ensuring you/your loved one has a meaningful funeral and their story is able to be told as they would have wanted it. This can be from designing a personalised casket, to producing a unique service sheet and photo slideshow, through to having elements at the funeral that reflect the person’s life.
We are located at 75 Fox Street, Invercargill. Phone 03 218 9021 or we can come and visit you in your own home. We encourage you to take the time to talk and share your story with your loved ones.

I would like you to know we found [hopefully] our problem to be electric hot water .I would like to let fellow Central residents know that the recommendation for gas hot water and a woodburner installation to MCLELLANDS GAS AND PLUMBING was incredibly disappointing .The customer service was appalling ,we did manage to get a tradesman from Mclellands once to look at the job, then we called instore to select a fire and request a quote and never heard from them again .We waited 3 months then began the search again ,no interest at all until on a recommendation from Neighbourly we called ADAMS HEATING AND PLUMBING ,they were professional ,quick ,and reasonably priced ,customer service faultless ,I will update you on our first power account in June. The first job which included the woodburner would have been app $10,000 , if Mclellands plumbing can afford to throw that sort of customer away then there will be karma ,there always is in business.

Ryman’s belief in this standard hasn’t changed. We put our residents first, ensuring they are connected to caring, vibrant communities. Ultimately, that’s what makes the Ryman difference.

‘The children are our future.’ It’s a well-loved cliché around the world because it’s absolutely true. The hopes and dreams we have for our communities are only as strong as the children and young people who continue to believe in them long after we’re gone.

This month is all about supporting our young people, to encourage and empower them to not only be the change-makers and community builders of tomorrow but also the best versions of themselves. To listen to their perspective and remember that it’s not just about what we can teach them, but what lessons they can teach us. After all, the recipe for creating healthy, happy children includes a lot of the same ingredients for building safer, more resilient and connected communities.
Want to share your thoughts?
Let us know how you’re supporting young people in your communities this month by tagging us in your posts + using the following hashtag so we can see what you get up to:
