Obituaries

We will prepare an obituary to be published for your loved one – basically a summary of life or family, with funeral details if a private service is not arranged.

We are happy to help you prepare an obituary and then arrange publication in the New Zealand Herald, and other publications.

For your convenience Waters Funerals has an online “Remembrance Page” which will allow access for family and friends to add their condolences, support and comfort from almost anywhere in the world – 24 hours, 7 days a week.
