Thank you!
To the families who have entrusted their loved ones to our funeral services this year we say “thank you”.
Because you decided to partner with us, we have been able to bring care to your family, as well as ongoing life-changing support through our charity donations.
Our funeral businesses are unique in that we exist to give our money away!
We recognise that we are able to do this only because you chose to use our services.
It’s a unique business model for unique benefits and we couldn’t be prouder of it!
Please take a moment to look at the impact you have made, just by choosing to use our services.
Sincerely,
Trevor Adams (Chair) and Andrew McKenzie (CEO)
on behalf of the entire Board and Staff team
Thank you!
