Lychgate Funeral Home

Mary at Lychgate was lovely. Nothing was too much trouble and she managed everything for us with great kindness and professionalism.

I was in the unusual position of having to arrange a funeral for someone I barely knew but who had no family. I could not have done this without the guidance, support and patience of the Lychgate team.

Keith and his team are really passionate about what they do and genuinely care about the experience during this time

Keith was gracious, helpful and very considerate and attended to all the minor details with care and concern. My father was presented in his coffin beautifully. It is a lovely space and I would highly recommend.

Wonderful staff. So responsive and proactive dealing with the logistics of moving mum to Dunedin and communication with the other funeral home. I was so grateful for their help and guidance and so caring. Big hugs to the team. Thank you so much.

Keith and his team are wonderful and really care about what they do.

We used Brad of Lychgate for our mother's service. We faced complications of time, as family were away and the service was 13 days after her passing, additionally mum had to be transferred from Auckland. Brad was there at 9:00pm on Friday night to greet us as we arrived with mum and receive her into his care. He had to do an enormous amount of work to enable us to have a family viewing and to have mum returned to our family home for one last weekend with the family. Brad and his team were exceptional in making each and every one of our wishes possible. The day of the service and internment also had some special requests to accommodate all family members with differing thoughts and religious beliefs. He handled everything with professionalism and efficiency and was able to deliver the perfect service and internment for mum. He even managed to hold off the rain at Makara. Can't thank you enough Brad!
