Kaitaia has been my home for all my life and never used Geards until my dad wanted to be embalmed then cremated. I have so much admiration for Annaleah and the team. Communication, and culturally connected is everything during a time of loss. Thank you so much. Highly recommend them. The cremation Kerikeri we had with whānau was beautiful. Thank you for allowing that time to grieve and celebrate with our dad. Mā te Atua whānau o Geards hei tiaki i ngā wā katoa
