The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.

Facilitating a meaningful and honouring tribute.

The past 10 years have seen Mark lead a team of over 100 staff in the Not-For-Profit sector with a focus on delivering faith based social services for families, youth at risk and the elderly. With over 20 years experience in project management, event management and ICT, Mark is dedicated to connecting people with solutions.

Although Mark is a registered celebrant and minister of religion, his primary passion remains to facilitate a meaningful and honouring tribute to those that have passed away and the loved ones that remain.

As a funeral director, Mark is warm and friendly, and together with his Auckland funeral services team, he will work tirelessly to assist you and your family in creating a fitting celebration of the life of your dearly departed.

Contact Mark

Auckland Funeral Services provided a wonderful option for me when looking for a simple and private cremation service. Their professional approach also had a warm and personal touch, with the director offering great advice and heartfelt support. Though simplicity was required due to circumstance, there was still a lot of respect and dignity maintained in the process.

Thank you for the magnificent service you have given us in honour of Irma. Myself and my family are so ever grateful to have a friend to take care of all the ‘difficult’ bits.

I believe you went out of your way to make it as easy as possible.

Again thank you.

When my Dad died we contacted Mark to assist with his funeral. Mark’s service was outstanding and nothing we asked for was a problem. It made such a difference for me and my family to know that the details were being taken care of.

When my wife was ill we connected with Mark and Suzanne wanted Mark to take her funeral. Mark was very professional and made Suzanne’s celebration very memorable. She would have loved it

To any who seek peace for the ones they love.My heart felt thanks and appreciation go to Mark and Leanne for the professional and compassionate way they dealt with the delicate and multicultural beliefs of my family and myself. It was so comforting to know that Mark was ready to listen and talk at any time and his ability to put my family at ease, whether it was on the phone or in person, was incredible, he was considerate, encouraging and supportive.

I would recommend him to anyone who desires to bless their departed with a respectful celebration that truly reflects the love and faith of family and friends, and their after care and follow up has been genuine and appreciated. My mum would have loved sitting in on her sendoff.

When our son Dakota was stillborn at full term we turned to Mark to help us make the necessary arrangements. Mark assisted us every step of the way, his insight and compassion during such a difficult time was very much appreciated.
