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.

Outgoing Retirement Commissioner Diane Maxwell has been outspoken about the need to increase the pension age from 65.
"You used to get super for five years, then 10 and now 20 - soon it'll be 30. I'm not sure how we can fund people getting super for 30 years or more."

New Zealand has one of the simplest pension schemes in the world - all you have to do is be old enough and have lived in the country long enough and you can get it.
But that also makes it expensive - about $14.5 billion this year. Jobseeker benefits, by comparison, cost just $1.7b and sole parent support $1.08b.

Invercargill police are appealing for information following the fire at Waihopai School on Saturday morning.
Police and Fire and Emergency NZ (Fenz) were called to the primary school, on Herbert St, about 2.50am.
The alarm system and the quick response from firefighters meant there was only minor damage and no reported injuries, a police spokeswoman said. The fire is being treated as deliberate and an investigation was under way.
Anyone who saw suspicious activity in the area around the time of the fire or who had information on the incident is asked to contact police on 03 2110400 or give information anonymously by calling Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Maybe it's your local cafe with the barista who always makes your flat white the way you like it, the hairdresser who consistently styles your hair perfectly, the dairy owner who makes popping in for some milk that little bit better or even the pet shop staff who know your fur baby just as well as you do.

As a mostly volunteer led organisation, our members know first hand the value and impact that a single volunteer can make in our communities. Imagine then how much can be achieved when several volunteers or even an entire street or neighbourhood decide to work together to achieve the same goal!
Whether you plan to coordinate your own volunteer driven activity, take part in one that’s already been setup, participate in National Volunteer Week (16-22 June), or simply show your own volunteers some extra love this month, know that every bit of effort to give back is a priceless investment in all of our futures.
