Resthaven Funerals (Howick)

We’ve trusted Resthaven for the funerals of my grandparents and recently my father, and they have always provided exceptional care. Adam and the team coordinated everything seamlessly for the service and cremation, and even went the extra mile by sending additional service sheets to family members who missed out at the service. Their sensitivity and support throughout, especially for Mum and myself, made a difficult time much easier. I would highly recommend Resthaven to anyone seeking a compassionate and professional service.

We recently lost our legend, which has left us completely broken-hearted. From the very first moment, Rachel and her team guided us so gently through every step. They showed genuine compassion, care, and love. Being able to visit whenever we wanted meant so much to us. The funeral home felt like a warm, comforting little home, and that made all the difference. We felt truly supported and cared for as a family throughout the entire journey. They managed the funeral with absolute ease, despite there being many moving parts. It was a large police funeral with a lot going on, and we had some very specific requests. Every detail was handled beautifully, resulting in the most perfect and meaningful send-off we could have hoped for. We are forever grateful for the kindness, patience, and respect shown to us during the saddest time of our lives. Thank you.

During the most difficult time of losing our beloved Oliver, thank you Jessica and Louise for providing not just a service, but genuine care, compassion, and guidance. From the first phone call to the final farewell, every detail was handled with professionalism and heart. Jessica was not only organized and attentive but deeply respectful of our wishes and Oliver's memory. Thank you for putting up with my ever changing mind. We are deeply grateful for your kindness and dedication. In a time of sorrow, you gave us a sense of peace. You deserve more than 5 stars.

What an amazing experience we have had from the team at Resthaven Funeral Services during a very difficult time. They were always available and no request was too big or small and was attended to promptly, with love and empathy. I have no hesitation to highly recommend their services.

When I think back to the days we spent at Resthaven, my heart fills with quiet gratitude. It was a time of deep sorrow, yet also of tenderness and peace. The staff at Resthaven treated my father with such dignity and calm respect, as if they understood the love that surrounded him. Every detail — from the soft light , music in the room to the way they spoke his name — reflected genuine care. What touched me most was the atmosphere of serenity there. It didn’t feel like a place of endings, but rather a place of gentle transition — where love remains, even as we let go. Their kindness allowed our family to focus on honouring Dad’s life and spirit instead of being lost in the logistic of farewell . We followed the funeral director Adam ‘s gentle guide through the hardest times of dad’s passing without stress. Also Jessica and Louise ‘s warm smile felt like a sunshine in a cold winter day to take our sorrow away . Resthaven gave us space to grieve, to remember, and to find a quiet strength together. For that, I will always be thankful.
