Testimonials
What They Say
To a beautiful lady and her whanau, I am sincerely grateful that my son, Luke Thornton, had the best, your aroha and care was beyond words when we lost our son this year in March. Extending aroha also to my cuzzy Nga for being there too. Thanks, Julz and Rob, always in my heart. The Thornton (nee Huata/Kare Kare) whanau.
Julz and Rob, thank you so much for taking so much pain and stress from us. You were recommended along with 2 other names and when I saw your name something said Te Awhina was the one, and then I spoke to you and I knew immediately that I had made the right decision. After meeting with you, you made it all sound so easy and I knew everything was going to be okay. Well, it was better than okay! Your compassion, your aroha, and your services were the absolute best. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Papa's (John Jovanovic) funeral today was beautiful and stress free. I will definitely recommend your services.

Julz and Robert - you were chosen for a reason, and you both went above and beyond that reason. You both have such beautiful big hearts. Julz, you have made such a profound impact on my life. The encouraging words, the strength and courage you gave me when you saw me struggling so badly will remain with me for the rest of my life. I struggle to find the words to express how I feel about how you both lovingly cared for my son. What I do know is that I am humbled.
