Eagars Funerals

My review of Eagars Funerals is well overdue, but is still given with great appreciation and high praise. When my father died the Eagars team was outstanding in every single way. I worked closest with Richard, but Casey, William, Kelsey, Ashleigh and Spencer all played an important part in his final journey. Absolutely nothing was too much trouble. I never, for an instant, felt I wasn't listened to or that my ideas were not set as paramount to the process. Richard steered us through the maze of decisions with quiet strength, broad knowledge and fail-safe advice. As it was a funeral with full military honours, Richard's personal military experience was invaluable. The team were well-organised and so, so kind and always available to advise and help. They understood every nuance of grief and the surrealism of losing a loved one. They treated my Dad with such huge respect and it gave our family comfort and joy to see this particular aspect of their team style. Everything was done perfectly. Thank you all so much Eagars Funerals. You were the perfect choice for our family and we will always be grateful for the extra distance and professionalism shown by you all with the added smile and the always 'can do' attitude. Thank you again Team Eagars. Lest we forget.

Thank you Richard, Casey, Aaron, and Tyrese for your guidance and support after Dad passed away. In the space of six short days we went from never having thought about the process of organising a funeral, to a funeral which we will all cherish as a fitting send-off for a wonderful man. For me, the funeral was better than I could have hoped for, and a dear old friend of Dad's said it was the best funeral she had been to. Your advice, compassion, practical support, and the space you allowed for us to celebrate Dad in the way we wanted was hugely appreciated. The chapel was a wonderful space, and we loved the '65 Pontiac hearse. Finally, your technological hardware and expertise was superb, especially as it allowed many people from outside New Plymouth to feel like they were actually there. The recording of the funeral from various angles has allowed us to enjoy the celebration of Dad's life from a difference perspective, and will be a treasured resource for the future. Thanks again Richard and team.

Eagar’s Funeral Services delivered our Brothers funeral on 23rd October. Casey and William were exceptional very professional, caring and gave us great advice in preparation for the funeral. The Chapel was an awesome setting to celebrate my brothers life. There was a large number of people in attendance and the additional screens for viewing were brilliant. We were also able to stream the funeral live for people who couldn’t attend. Casey was so sensitive and empathetic when dealing with our family. Everything had a personal touch in the delivery of all their services. We highly recommend Eagars to deliver a funeral to the highest standard.

When my Dad passed away recently, Casey, Kelsey and the Eagars team could not have been more wonderful. They were so accommodating, professional and nothing was too much trouble, despite the longer timeframe in the lead up to the funeral. Eagars asked us to trust them in the funeral process and I'm so glad we did, the personal touches they added made for an amazing send off for Dad. The Te Henui Chapel is so lovely and was perfect for our ceremony. Thank you Casey and Kelsey, for making a extremely difficult time for my family very special.

To Casey, Richard, Glenn and Nicky, Thank you so much for your help with Dad’s funeral arrangements over the last week. You made it as easy and comfortable for our family as it possibly could be. We are very grateful to have been able to use your services. Eagars are completely professional, extremely caring and thoughtful, with amazing attention to detail.
