Thank you Bradley for all of the advice and direction you were able to give to my family and myself when organizing the funeral arrangements. Your navigation on last minute arrangements and understanding was appreciated and you allowed us to "make it happen" and be a special day. Gateway was recommended no only on service but cost.

Thankyou to Dean and team at Gateway Funeral Services for guidance and support throughout our difficult and emotional time . The family and I could not have asked for any more than their already professional and caring approach to us all
Beyond compare. Bradley and his team ensured the most wonderful, loving, compassionate, thoughtful and respectful celebration of my mother's life and passing. They went above and beyond to ensure every detail was simply perfect. I cannot thank them enough. Ātaahua! Ngā mihi nui.
Thank you very much for everything you and your wonderful staff do for the families of the Easten Bay of Plenty. My family could not be happier with the care and attention to detail you have shown us and other families we have talked to say the same thing. This is why we looked to use your services in our time of need. It seems that when I come to the EBOP for a funeral, you are there making the experience a time of compassion and empathy. All the very best to everyone at Gateway. Jan.
At such a delicate and emotional time Hayley and the team at Gateway made a difficult situation smooth and easy. Nothing was a problem. Highly recommend. We also used gateway floral which produced beautiful spray and bouquets.
