Bereavement Support

With over 40 years in the funeral industry, we understand that grief takes time. We offer a complimentary support service to you or immediate family members to help you on your grief journey.

Our experienced Bereavement Counsellor, Raewyn, is available free of charge through Osbornes Funeral Directors to listen, answer questions, provide support and assistance, and help people understand their emotions through this difficult time.

Any family member who has used Osbornes Funeral Directors for the funeral arrangements for their loved one can use this support service. We will contact you a few weeks after the funeral to see how you are coping, however if you wish to speak with us before this, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

At Osbornes Funeral Directors, we strongly believe that the community can be a powerful resource for understanding grief and finding kinship after a loss.

We offer ongoing Rotorua community engagement through events such as Death Cafe to provide space and resources for people processing their grief. These events also provide a safe space to talk about your experience with loss amongst people who wish to support you.

If you are interested in attending one of our community engagements in Rotorua, feel free to get in touch with us to see if there are any upcoming events.
