Keep it simple – is a phrase we are hearing more often during these times in which we live, and we have a perfect venue for people wanting to achieve this. Kapiti Crematorium Chapel is a privately owned 35 seater chapel, nestled in beautiful grounds of Awa Tapu Cemetery, Valley Road, Paraparaumu.
This is the perfect venue for those smaller private funeral gatherings and works well even for those who don’t really want anything much at all, while still giving a chance for those very close to come and have a time of farewell. For some people, a really simple farewell gathering there can be as simple as walking in with the casket, not even sitting down, just placing a hand on the casket and saying farewell. Others it is sitting peacefully in silence with your own thoughts; others it’s placing a flower while others it’s sitting in a small circle telling stories with loved ones present, and still, others its about music that helps reflect and say farewell. I don’t want anything at all, is a phrase we sometimes hear, but usually, this makes it hard for those close to having ‘closure’ and after discussion, most will admit that those close may need a very simple way to say goodbye, and Kapiti Crematorium offers this. A beautiful venue, with a chance for the family to direct exactly what they want in a way they want it, no strings attached.
Wanting more. Some families begin with wanting a self-directed farewell, then as the time approaches, they find they need a little more. At Kapiti Crematorium you can add things like a photo tribute, a playlist of songs from a phone, adding the reading of tributes or emails from friends or even playing a video on the screen. Kapiti Crematorium Chapel allows you to start simple but then add more if family needs change. It has all facilities with a modern sound and AV system. Because there is no fibre, live streaming is not recommended there, however, if the family are ‘upgrading’ the amount of service they require, then the main chapel at Kapiti Coast Funeral Home is ideal, where they also have full facilities and fibre and offer a free streaming facility in the main Funeral Home Chapel. Beautiful & Simple – For those who want to ‘keep it simple’ and have a family lead time in the beautiful venue that Kapiti Crematorium offers, looking down the Awa Tapu Valley to the end of Kapiti Island, and the ocean, then maybe this is the place for you.
We encourage you to talk about this with your family, make a note in your personal files, and maybe even give us a call to open a file for you. Kapiti Crematorium, a beautiful and ideal solution to ‘keeping it simple’ at the time of farewell.
