Our team at Kapiti Coast Funeral Home have a wide variety of skills and work backgrounds, which brings all the personal understanding needed to provide the genuine caring service that your family needs.
The team of funeral directors, embalmers, administrators, designers and bereavement support staff. All are local Kapiti Coast people having lived in the district for many years and are a dedicated part of our wonderful Kapiti community.

Also, after a funeral, it is always useful to let us know how we did. Hopefully, our help was everything you wanted, but if something wasn’t to your liking or as you expected, then please let us know; we will take all comments seriously. – Email Us (Merryn will get it)
