Celebrating life and honoring memories

About Memorial Services

When you are looking for ways to farewell a loved one, you may opt for a memorial service. This can take place directly after the passing, or it may take place at a later date when it is more convenient for friends and family to gather. You might choose to have a funeral and a memorial service, and there is a place for both.

Memorial Service Options

The Natural Funeral Company has a beautiful old brick church in Auckland where you could choose to hold a memorial service, or we can help you to arrange a memorial at another venue. Many people opt for a church, hall or a private garden or home, and the important thing is to honour the wishes of your loved one and to provide a place where people can gather to share memories, grief and love. Our compassionate team can help you every step of the way, so if you want us to take care of organising your memorial service, get in touch for a chat.

What do you need to provide?

A memorial service will likely have a place for everyone to sit, somewhere people can stand and speak, and you may want some audio visual equipment for a video tribute or a slideshow of photos. You may wish to provide a microphone, and it's likely that flowers will be sent, so it's a good idea to make preparations to display and transport them.

Catering

Generally people like to share food at a memorial. You could provide food and service, plus all the things you will need to serve up the food, you could ask people to bring food – or you can opt for professional funeral catering to take care of all the refreshments and the clean up.
