For 148 years, Tong & Peryer Funeral Directors have been guiding Hawkes Bay families with compassion, clarity, and care, whether planning ahead, facing a loss, or supporting someone through their final chapter.
From thoughtful preparation and meaningful farewells to ongoing support for families and communities, we are here to walk alongside you every step of the way.
Funeral Services
Personalised, meaningful farewells that honour every life.
Pet Farewells
Gentle, respectful goodbyes for cherished companions.
End-of-Life Planning
Capture your wishes and ease the burden on those you love.
Death Doula Support
Compassionate guidance and presence through the dying process.
Aftercare & Support
Practical help, grief support, and resources when you need them most.
We are not your typical funeral home.
We are committed to changing the culture of death and dying, through education, openness, and deeply personalised care.
For too long, death has been something we avoid. But when we approach it with understanding and intention, it can become a powerful and meaningful part of life.
Our role is to gently guide you, emotionally, practically, and respectfully, so you feel supported, informed, and never alone.
Whether it’s sitting alongside someone in their final days, helping families make decisions, or simply being present in moments that matter, our team is here to provide calm, compassionate support.
Through our death doula services and holistic approach to care, we help create space for connection, dignity, and peace.
We understand that love doesn’t stop with people.
That’s why we also offer dedicated pet farewell services, honouring the deep bonds we share with our animals.
