Ōtukaikino Memorial Service 2019
Sunday 24 February 2019 at 2.00pm
At the Ōtukaikino Reserve, Main North Road, Belfast, Christchurch
As friends of Lamb & Hayward the Ōtukaikino Reserve belongs to you. Situated in the north of Christchurch, by Chaney’s Corner, ‘The Living Memorial’ is a safe haven for wildlife, birds and native plantings, and a sanctuary for us; it’s nature’s reminder that life continues.
You are welcome to bring your family and friends to this year’s service as we remember our loved ones at Ōtukaikino.
Our annual ceremony is unique in that it is conducted outdoors and will be held rain or shine. There is shelter provided, but please come prepared, you may need warm clothing, an umbrella or a sunhat.
At Ōtukaikino we are holding hands with Mother Nature, the weather is out of our control.
If the weather makes the holding of this event unsafe at Ōtukaikino, it will be relocated to our Westpark Chapel at 467 Wairakei Road; this will be advised on our Facebook page, Newstalk ZB and The Breeze community notices.
Note: Please wear sturdy footwear
Car Parking
There are significant road works underway in the vicinity of Ōtukaikino. Please allow time to park in the area provided beside the event location. Lamb & Hayward staff will be on site to direct you.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
