Take your final journey in style
Your funeral should be as meaningful as you are, Avenal Park Funeral Home is honoured to offer families choices.
For those who motorbikes are a way of life and the only way to travel, we can offer you a 1936 Ridge Special side car to make the final journey as meaningful and as memorable as you are. This is a new option, available in Invercargill and the surrounding area. Rhys Wilson operates Rudge Hearse and is an Invercargill local who has made this happen. We are proud to be able to support him.
As well as memorable funerals, we also offer a monumental and headstone service, covering everything from memorial plaques to headstones.
If you would like to talk to someone about funeral/monumental options or would even like a tour of our premises, please contact Nigel, Donna, Chris or Mel at Avenal Park Funeral Home - 03 218 9021.

Warnings about scams
This Fraud Awareness Week, we’re reminding everyone to stay sharp and look out for the warning signs of scams to stop them before they start.
Here’s what to watch out for:
🔍 Unrealistic offers or promises of easy money that are too good to be true
🔍 Pressure tactics: Scammers may rush or threaten you to act immediately.
🔍 Requests for personal info: Be cautious if you’re asked for bank details, passwords, or sensitive information.
🔍 Unusual payment methods like gift cards, cryptocurrency, or wire transfers.
🔍 Unverified contacts: Emails, calls, or messages from unknown or suspicious sources.
How to protect yourself:
✅ Stop and think before sharing personal details or making payments.
✅ Don't click on any links until you know that it is safe.
✅ Verify the source: Contact the organisation directly using official channels.
✅ If something’s not right, it's OK to hang up, walk away, ignore it and move on.
If you wish to report a scam, contact Police on 105 or report it online via 105.police.govt.nz/use-105.
