My past experiences with death and funeral directors were something I wouldn't describe as positive, they felt rehearsed and more focused on upselling. Chaim completely changed that experience. Nothing about him felt rehearsed, pushy or insincere. The care He showed not only towards my beloved but to myself and everyone grieving. His incredible ability to bring people together during tense and at times disagreeable in making arrangements was outstanding. From the beginning through to the aftercare, Chaim went above and beyond. He supported me with such gentleness and compassion. Thank you Chaim for changing my perception of death into a beautiful experience.

We recently used the services of Affinity Funerals, because of the sudden death of my brother Ross Brockbank. We found Affinity Funerals, Central Otago, was very professional with amply empathy and understanding and were very cooperative and Iโ€™m sure the whole families were very happy with the service provided.
