Barry, Kristine and staff were an integral part of the final farewell of my beautiful sister Jenny. They were absolutely amazing. The compassion and support we received helped us navigate through our sad loss. They organised so much of the funeral, the beautiful bright happy flowers on the casket, the music we requested, the lovely bookmarks, the afternoon tea, the notices. Barry listened to our requests and they seamlessly happened. I can not recommend Barry, Kristine and the team highly enough. We are so grateful to them for the love and support they showed us all.

The team at Taupo Funeral Services helped our family all the way through arranging our mum's (Anne Cooper) funeral service. Mum would have been overjoyed at how the service reflected all that she was. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Wendy, Trevor and Sue xxx
