Testimonials
I just wanted to say an enormous thank you to all those involved in Vern Greenham’s funeral.In particular Graham, who was outstanding. As a former FD with Lamb and Hayward in Christchurch,
I was so impressed with every single aspect of your care. I was probably more aware than most of the work required to put together a funeral of that magnitude. And it all went seamlessly. I’m told Vern looked wonderful, so thanks to your embalming team.The casket was superb, the service sheet laid out meticulously, the powerpoints flawless, the stage decorated fantastically, and the timing of everything perfect while looking effortless. And I appreciate what that all takes.Graham, you were amazing. Never looking stressed but always in control. All the family were commenting how wonderful you are, and have been right from the pre-planning months ago. And your committal was meaningful and just right in every way. The doves at the Crematorium were a lovely touch, and the laugh at the end was just what we needed.Please pass on to the celebrant my sincere thanks for the amazing, thoughtful, professional way he took the service. As a Christian I was delighted to have a Pastor taking it.Many thanks again everyone for a job really well done.
Thank you so much again for all you did in making Dad’s service of thanksgiving such a wonderful occasion for us.
Your manner, presence, sensitivity, incredible patience with all our questions and changes!, amazing organisation skills were so appreciated. I know it meant so much to Mum to have you help us journey through this time.
Thank you for all the little touches that meant so much too – Dad looked fantastic in his cope, the crosses on the casket, the photos being pulled off the powerpoint to be able to be screened on the external screen, the photo album (which Mum has been enjoying looking at), incorporating the children (especially in the burial)…and so much more.
And all of this while you and your family were grieving the loss of the twins too.
“On behalf of the Batty Family (specifically Isiah, Rach, Mum and I) we feel it a must to thank you for the attention and care given to us and Dad.
Your business deals with one of the hardest situations that families must incur throughout their time and the way you handled the entire situation will always be remembered gratefully.
Words fail me when it comes to adequately expressing our gratitude for everything done. Especially the attention to detail that went above and beyond the usual requirements.
Our family will remember the day with warm memories when we think of your family and service provided.
It would not have been the same without your special touch.”
Thank you!
“My family and I are hugely grateful for the work with us in the non-invasive preparation of my farther’s body.
Staff were always professional, service-orientated with a flexible can-do, go-the-extra-mile attitude, despite our somewhat non-standard desires.
Just as important to us was the relaxed friendly and supportive presence throughout the process.
The Kapiti Funeral Home chapel and crematorium are beautiful, with all the latest technical bells and whistles, so we are more than satisfied with our choice of funeral directors”
“The service received from all your team at the time of Daryl’s passing was just first class. The term ‘flawless performance’ is an aim in any best practice business, however not many achieve it. In our veiw your organisation achieved it at the highest possible level. Well done! In closing, all our family were helped more than we could have anticipated by the professional and empathetic way we were treated.”
“The service was simply a wonderful caring experience and thank you so much for all your help and professionalism. All our love.”
“Thank you for the great job you did with arranging our father’s funeral. Your prompt attention and sensitive treatment of the occasion was very much appreciated.”
“I would take this opportunity to thank you. Everything that was done in association with mum’s death was exactly as we would have liked it in accordance with our wishes. You were all so sensitive to our needs and allowed us all great dignity.”
“We would like to thank you and your staff for the kindness and consideration shown to us following the death of our brother…
We thank you most sincerely and may God bless you.”
“I appreciate your involvement very much in all our time with mum’s funeral and have so much positive feedback. Thank you for your organisation and gentle support.”
“I found John Duncan at Kapiti Coast Funeral Home very kind, gentle, professional and easy to trust. He made it very easy to work through the paperwork and what I needed to do when my mother died. He was happy to take the time to explain things, and went out of his way to get things done in a timely manner as we needed and wished. I highly recommend this team.”
Thank you
To Andrew and the team
“Thank you so much for all the work you did organising the funeral and cremation for mum both beforehand and on the day.
You made everything so easy and seamless.Everything you did and provided was perfect.”
Thank you so much.
Sandy and family
“Our family was very grateful for the kindness shown to us. In particular, we appreciated that we were given time and didn’t feel rushed when we were making decisions on flowers etc. I had sent Bob’s Neil Diamond Concert T-shirt for him to wear and it was a very special touch that the music that played during his cremation was Skybird. While everyone was lovely, special thanks to Andrew.”
The facilities were perfect and having a room for refreshments was so helpful. Also that we didn’t need to organise the catering.
