In the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.

About Us

As Auckland funeral directors, we will take care of everything to do with your loved one’s passing — the formalites, the funeral, burial or cremation; and everything in between.

While funerals today are vastly different to what they were years ago, families and friends still share the need to gather in order to grieve and pay tribute to the deceased. Our role as funeral directors is to help families design a celebratory service that aids them in their grieving process. Every family is different and a funeral should reflect the uniqueness of the life lived; therefore, we encourage families to personalise their funeral arrangements.

Auckland Funeral Services provides an end-to-end service for you and your family. We ensure you have everything needed at each stage of the funeral process, and we co-ordinate the arrangements. We work with you to meet your family’s requirements and budget. Our approach is versatile, with offerings tailored to support your preferences and values.

Whether you want a traditional approach or a simple, casual funeral with minimal cost and fuss — we can facilitate it. Should you have something very different in mind, or want something unique, we will do our best to accommodate you. The possibilities are endless.

We believe tradition is important, but it should not limit us. Where tradition has value in the life of a family, it should be honoured. Where faith is central, it should be observed. Our Auckland funeral director will provide suggestions and guidance on the options available and the choices you are considering.

The death of a loved one is a very difficult time and we respect your needs and circumstances. We will take care of your loved one, and provide you with exceptional funeral services based on over 20 years of caring for people and their families in Auckland. Our mission is to make the toughest time in your life just a little bit easier, and enable you to commemorate the life of your loved one in a meaningful, affordable way.

Meet Mark

Mark is dedicated to connecting people with solutions

With over 20 years experience in project management, event management and ICT, Mark is dedicated to connecting people with solutions. The last 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.

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.
