Two years ago, we used Guardian funeral home for my dad’s funeral, and we were so happy with the support they showed us. A few months ago, we lost my mum. Naturally Guardians was our go to. Ettiene made our second experience so beautiful. His compassion was heartfelt. Ettiene manged everything for us, nothing was a problem, I will always be indebted to Ettiene for making my mums funeral so special, for his care and professionalism.

Ettiene was such a blessing at this difficult time. So many decisions need to be made, so many things needed to be attended to, but Ettiene guided us through gently and positively. The service went smoothly and Ettiene was open to our ideas, so we were able to give Dad the best possible tribute in appreciation of his life. We are very grateful to have had his expert guidance and his support. It never felt like a transaction, but a collaboration. We would not hesitate to reccomend his services.

From start to finish the funeral for my brother was dealt with great compassion and caring. My main dealing was with Ettiene who, is a credit to the industry. Nothing was a problem and I knew from my first dealings with Guardian we were in safe hands. Thankyou Ettiene and the team at Guardian

I have had a very healing experience working with Guardian Funeral Home after my brother passed away suddenly. I had a different need to my parents with regards to my grief process. Guardian made available their Tawa office so my partner and I could spend 4 days with my brother while mum and dad could use the family home as their base to process. Friends were able to view for extended periods of time which was hugely helpful for them to make sense of this. Nothing was too much trouble. They moved quickly to secure an appropriate casket for us to customize. The staff at guardian are helpful, compassionate, respectful, present and available. I'm so grateful and highly recommend their services to anyone.

To Ettiene thank you for making our mum's funeral a wonderful experience from the initial visit to the funeral programme to the interment...warm caring professional, a credit to the funeral industry. We asked a NZ funeral service who they would recommend in Wellington/Lower Hutt and they said Guardian, we can see why. Very very much appreciated. The de Vries family
