Thank you also for the lovely umbrellas when it start to raining and holding it for my wife. Thank you also Alyssa for taking some photo of us. That really made it special for my wife and I Chris and Paris Auva’a
Ese Tatupu Funeral Directors 18 Norman Spencer Drive Manukau City New Zealand. We had to fly from Perth to Auckland the day after receiving the news of my sons passing. Ese was recommended to us and we have no regrets. Ese and his family are the most sympathetic and compassionate people in helping people deal with grief. They respect life as much as death, therefore you get nurtured guidance through the process which we have never experienced before using other Directors. Our son had a service to remember with Ese’s suggestions and on behalf of myself and family, thank the Tatupu’s family so very much for looking after us. Blessings for the future from the Renata family Perth WA
Ese Tatupu Funeral Directors. Where can we begin with this review. It isn't easy losing a loved one. For our family, this was the first loss very close to home where we were required to make arrangements quickly for our husband/father, Leslie Michael Ross 🕊 With one phone call made to Serena from Ese Tatupu Funeral Directors, we were informed on what steps to take and the ball was rolling. Serena walked us through every step with patience and care during this difficult time, and for this, we will forever be grateful 🙏 The care taken of our loved one was the best, and our wider family feedback was all positive, including many praise for the YouTube live stream, which bought comfort to those abroad who were not able to attend in person 🙌 Again, we thank you, Serena and the team at Ese Tatupu Funeral Directors, God bless!
From day one of losing our Pā, Ese Tatupu and team were there guiding us along this new experience of dealing with funeral directors. Ese and Vanessa were our key contact people. Ese responded immediately on day one and gave advice on key next steps which alleviated a lot of questions & unexpected stress after receiving the shocking news. Throughout the last 2 weeks of going through Pā's funeral matters, Ese and team have been nothing but AMAZING. Ese has been so professional but yet so approachable, caring, supportive, patient and relatable for our family. Ese took great care of our Pā and our family throughout the whole journey. Reassuring us every step of the way, supporting with verification document requests, providing last minute livestream request, great communication, working with our family to ensure a smooth process right til the final day of laying our Pā to rest. Our family are so grateful for your patience, guidance and support throughout Pā's last days. May your team continue to be blessed. You guys have no idea how much stress is taken off grieving families when they are going through this particular season, and we will always be thankful for our experience. Kind regards, Ma'ilata family
Would like to give a big thank you to Ese and team for looking after our mum. She was treated like a Queen by Ese and his team. From day 1 to the burial day, everything was smooth and ran professionally. It took a lot of stress off us as it was our first time going through this. Thank you for your professionalism Ese and giving our mother a beautiful send off.
