We loved the service they provided for my beautiful daughter. It was a very traumatic passing handled with kindness and total professionalism. I cannot fault Karen, Ann and everyone involved. Thank you for making such a tragic time bearable.

Very professional and very simple. Everything you need and nothing you don’t. The service suited us perfectly and is highly recommended.

So very pleased we went with Christchurch Crematorium, right from the first contact they were so compassionate and understood our needs and looked after my husband with such dignity and the family with kindness. I would highly recommend them all.

Good people, provide a good and compassionate service. Great to work with and highly respectful. Definitely recommend them at what is always a difficult time.

Great fast service for what our whanau needed.

Everything was taken care of in a caring supportive manner. Communication was excellent and made the whole process smooth and simple. Anne at the Kerrs Road site was amazing. Appreciation to all the team at Christchurch Crematorium Funerals. Thank you 🙏

In May we had to go through one of the hardest goodbyes any of us have had to do in our whanau. The way Karen was calm, kind, caring and helpful to our whanau meant everything. She made sure to answer all my questions any time of day. And just did so much more for us than we could have even asked for. She put our pepi in a small urn while we waited for the chosen one to arrive. The service we didn’t feel rushed managing it ourselves; I’m sure we took more time than we were supposed too, but they never made me feel rushed out. Thank you so much to you Karen, and your company. We hope we don’t see you soon! But we will see you again.

Absolutely amazing service provided. My sister and I lost both our parents 7 weeks apart; one parent was very unexpected. Karen at Wigram Crematorium was absolutely amazing. The care both of us and our family received was so appreciated. Karen was onto everything with ease and made the grieving process a lot easier knowing Karen had everything in hand the entire time. Thank you Karen for your amazing care. Truly very thankful for all the support we were given. Amazing to deal with. Thank you, thank you 😊 ❤️
