Celebrating life – your way
As funerals can be a stressful time, it is understandable that families can sometimes forget information that the funeral director has offered. It is our sincere hope that the information on this site will fill in some of the gaps and provide you with helpful information.

Tributes
“Thanks for all the beautiful love and support you provide to our patients, family/whanau and staff”
The Pohlen team
“Many thanks, Pam. Your Videographers did a good job. And, if I have not already sufficiently conveyed the notion, I consider you and Waterson’s were superbly professional, compassionate and attentive to all the necessary details. It was a privilege and a pleasure working with you.”
Mark Edward Taylor
“Very helpful, caring staff. They took the time to answer all questions, nothing seemed to be an effort. Fantastic people.”
Sharron Livingstone
“From our initial inquiry, your team was incredibly supportive and understanding. You took the time to educate us on our options and considered the individual needs of Gordon’s children, which made a world of difference during such a difficult time. Your compassion and guidance helped us navigate our grief while ensuring that the service was both personal and meaningful.“
Robbie Murray
“Isla & The Waterson Team. May I say on behalf of the Family and All the friends that attended the funeral and watch from afar how grateful we have been in the being guided and watched over by the Waterson Funeral Team. All I spoken I with have expressed their gratitude for a well organised event orchestrated by care and sympathy.”
