I would like to thank Danny & all of his staff for making this difficult time a pleasant and easy process. From the moment we walked through the door to arrange my Fathers Cremation we were greeted with warmth, compassion and friendly genuine smiles which my Brother & I really needed at the time. I would highly recommend Danny & his team at Harbour City Funerals as they really went above & beyond, right down to dropping my Fathers remaining belongings personally to my Mother who lives 90 minutes away. Thanks again team for a painless experience.

My mum passed away and the day after her death we contacted Harbour City Funeral Home in Upper Hutt (it's just up the road from us) and Barry came around to my home within a few hours and went through the whole process with all the family present. Barry is such a lovely, kind, understanding and compassionate man which made it stress free and easy in a situation that is tough and heartbreaking, thank you so much Barry for your kindness.

Went there be for the funeral of someone who had died of Covid19. Comfortable seating, plenty of room for the large number of people who attended. Those who could not be there were able to have it live streamed. Child friendly. Lynne's youngest grandson aged about two years was fine there.
