Testimonials

What families have to say about working with Osbornes

We were really pleased with the service we received from Osbornes. Everyone went above and beyond to ensure everything went smoothly and how we wanted it for Dad. Special thanks to Chris, Richard and Wayne, for everything they did for us and Dad. We have used Osbornes many times and will continue to do so in the future. Kind regards,

Chris

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.

Rachel McRae

A huge thank you to Taupaki, Adam and Angela for all your patience as we her 6 daughters planned a farewell for our Mum. All very professional, organised and accommodating of our needs and wishes. We are very happy with how smoothly everything was undertaken at every stage. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Very highly recommended!!

Tanya Lee-Cox

I would just like to acknowledge Osbornes funeral Directors for making everything so stress-free for our family when our Mum passed. From organizing the transport of Mum from Whakatane to Rotorua, to the service details and catering. They took so much stress away from us we didn’t have to worry about Mums funeral etc we got to spend time with our family. 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! Raewyn Hammond for conducting the service and to Richard Fullard and the rest of the team at Osbornes for making this not a sad experience, but a joyful one. On behalf of myself and the Matthews family, Thank you all so much!

Adam, Chris and Angela looked after us so well in arranging the funeral for my husband and in their aftercare. They demonstrated empathy in a down to earth way which we appreciated and honoured my husband and all that he means to us.
