More About Our Memorial Gardens

Alongside our funeral chapels, we have two beautifully landscaped memorial gardens — one in Burnside and one in Rangiora. Both provide peaceful, permanent resting places for ashes, where families can create lasting tributes and return to remember their loved ones.

Whether you’re looking for a quiet corner for private reflection or a dignified space for a small committal ceremony, our gardens offer a sense of continuity and peace.

Living Memorial

Ōtukaikino | Living Memorial

Ōtukaikino is a 13-hectare freshwater wetland reserve north of Christchurch, where ongoing restoration work is helping to protect and regenerate the natural environment.

For every funeral we arrange, a native plant is established at Ōtukaikino. This creates a living memorial that family and friends can visit. There, they can remember their loved one and see the native planting become part of the landscape.
