I chose Elliott’s at Ninth Avenue quite randomly when my husband died tragically in 2023, and was so glad I did! They provided a stress free, highly professional service, with very caring, respectful and compassionate staff who looked after me so kindly during a very difficult time. They then followed up with very timely group grief counselling which helped enormously. They go above and beyond and I had no hesitation in recommending them with confidence to family when another loss rocked our world. I would like to give special thanks to Yvonne and Kylie who added their own very personal touch.

This was my first experience dealing directly with a funeral service company and was not sure what to expect or how matters were conducted. At what was an incredibly difficult time for me personally the team at Elliot’s couldn’t have been more warm, sympathetic and understanding. I was looked after by Yvonne Winch and her experience was immediately clear. Yvonne was attentive without being intrusive she made the entire process one that my family and I were able to focus on each other and our grief safe in the knowledge that all the professional and legal aspects of the process were being handled. Yvonne knew when to talk when to listen when to console and when to have a laugh. When our journey together reached its end I thanked them sincerely and made it abundantly known how their presence and professionalism made what was a daunting journey easy. Yvonne Winch and the Elliott’s Tauranga team once again bless…… Mark

Words will always pale in comparison to how much the entire team at Elliotts Funerals in Tauranga mean to me. That said, I feel it is important to me to publicly extend my heartfelt thanks and gratitude to the entire team: Chris, Iki, Bruce, Yvonne, Jenny, Kylie, Shanlee, and Darryl. Each person, some behind the scenes, shepherded my family through the previous loss of several very close family members, and, most recently, the heartbreaking loss of our beloved Mum. The care, empathy, patience and understanding extended to me and my family by the entire team was outstanding; each step in the journey of our tremendous loss was soothed by the salve of their respectful stewardship of the process. I highly recommend Elliotts Funeral Services in Tauranga for any family experiencing similar challenging times. You will be in the very best of hands with your loved one.

Elliot’s Funeral Services proved to be a wise choice for myself and the family. We encountered so much personal, considerate support which made a very difficult time a lot easier to deal with. I cannot fault anything and really felt cared for. Their consultations were handled with loving care. The costs were competitive and manageable. They helped us make good decisions which enabled the family to put together a wonderful celebration of my husbands life. Thanks so much to Yvonne and all the team.

The recent loss of our mother was a difficult time but the team from Elliotts were wonderful. Shanlee was amazing to deal with - kind and empathic while quietly getting everything attended to. Every point of contact - from the first meeting to the follow up information - was handled with professionalism and respect. My family couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you.
