Our mission at Hope Funerals Christchurch is to provide you with the support and space you need to say goodbye to your loved one in a manner that celebrates and honours their unique life. We’ll support you, your wishes and those of your loved ones, assisting you in saying goodbye in a way that is meaningful to you.
The "Your Way" philosophy stems from the heartfelt appreciation expressed by the many families who have recognised our compassionate and caring team. We strive to ensure that anyone in need of guidance and support during times of grief knows we’re here to provide them with the utmost care and support, while celebrating their loved one in a manner that celebrate their uniqueness, "Your Way."
Supporting good causes in the community
Whether you are pre-planning your own funeral or having to plan a service for a loved one who has passed away, it can be a daunting and expensive process.
You may wonder how to choose between the various funeral providers out there and where all of the money goes.
The special thing about choosing Hope Funerals to plan your own funeral or celebrate the life of a loved one is that, unlike other funeral companies, Hope is a social enterprise. This means that part of the profits Hope Funerals makes are redistributed to good causes in the community such as Kairos Food Rescue, community development projects, affordable counselling and child and family support services.
So by choosing Hope Funerals for your funeral arrangements you can feel good about giving back to the local community that either you or your loved one were part of.
Unique ways to celebrate your loved one
At Hope Funerals we understand the importance of planning a funeral service that reflects the priorities and personality of the person being remembered. For some people their faith is very important to them and it is most appropriate to remember them within their church community.
However not everyone belongs to a church and it may not feel authentic to hold a service somewhere that your loved one would not have felt at home.
If you would like a less formal setting to celebrate your loved one’s life, we have an onsite café that is the perfect place to hold a relaxed and warm gathering of family and friends.
Alternatively, there may be another location that was very significant for your loved one such as a garden, home, sports club or community hall.
Wherever, and however, you want to say goodbye, we will support you to plan a celebration that feels right for you and your family and honours the unique individual that you are remembering.
We’re Proudly locally owned and operated
Hope Funerals Christchurch is New Zealand - owned and operated, and as a social enterprise, part of the profits we make go straight back into our local community to support worthwhile projects, making us unique in the Christchurch funeral market.
If your loved one had strong connections to their local community and were proud of their Kiwi identity it makes sense to choose a company that reflects those values to support you to remember them in a meaningful way.
