What families have to say about working with Osbornes

Following some close family losses we have engaged the Osbornes Funeral Home team in Rotorua for their help in creating a fitting farewell. The team were friendly, engaging, and really took their time to find out what we needed so they could adapt their service to suit. I have used them on three separate occasions, for three very different services, and they went above and beyond every time. They make a difficult time that much easier, highly recommended.

Thanks Chris De Groot for your kind hospitality and sincerity, you’re so awesome at what you do! Wayne Monk for helping out with Mum and making her look as Beautiful as we knew her to be! Taupaki Walker for your patience and empathy!
