“Grief is a journey not a destination”
Nigel and Christine Edwards and the staff of Avenal Park Funeral Home offer a professional service to take some of the stress away from families. It is an honour to be able to assist Southland families during their time of uncertainty and grief.
We encourage you to take time to talk, to convey your wishes then allow us to look after the details. There are no specific rules when planning a funeral - let us help you through a very sad and emotional time.
For more information on what is available or you would like to discuss options, contact Nigel, Donna, Chris or Mel at Avenal Park Funeral Home - 03 218 9021
