In death as in life, we all express ourselves uniquely and authentically. Our real-world expertise and funeral arranging experience means that we work with you to interpret and deliver how you want to honour and remember a loved one.
We’re changing the conversation around death, bringing a fresh, positive approach to end-of-life celebrations. To us, funerals are not just about saying goodbye—they’re about honouring life in a way that’s authentic, empowering, and healing.
Every person is unique, and so is every service we create. From grand gatherings to quiet garden farewells, each experience is thoughtfully tailored to reflect the individual’s personality and story.
Funerals also support the living—offering space for grief, reflection, and acceptance. Through personal touches and meaningful moments, we help families say goodbye in a way that brings comfort and lasting memories.
At Tong & Peryer, we are not your typical funeral home. We are passionate about transforming the way our community experiences death and dying—through education, personalised care, and compassionate support for those navigating grief together.
Over the past century, our culture has grown increasingly uncomfortable with death. We often avoid conversations about dying, shy away from the natural process of ageing, and focus heavily on prolonging life at all costs. But when we find the courage to face death with openness and prepare emotionally, mentally, and spiritually for this transition, it can be one of the most empowering experiences of all.
Whether you’re planning ahead or in immediate need, our mission is to ease the burden on Hawke’s Bay families during one of life’s most difficult times. Our dedicated family care team is here to guide you—offering support that honours your personal values, cultural traditions, individual wishes, and budget.
As a funeral home, we understand that people have many and varied needs. We have tailored our services to provide the help and support our families may need, when they need it. We’ve helped hundreds of bereaved Hawkes Bay families, and it is through more than 140 years of experience, and our passion for caring, that we are now working with the third generation of many of our families. We know their return to us means we have their confidence and trust.
Knowing our community has helped us shape the diverse range of services we provide because we know what you need at some of the most diffcult times in a person’s life.
