Memory Funerals

nal time of saying farewell to a loved one. Born and bred in Canterbury, Jo lives in Ashburton and has been organising funerals for nearly a decade. She opened Memory Funerals to offer the bereaved a choice in funeral care and to cater to the needs that reflect the personality, culture and uniqueness of the individual. Jo takes a calm, unhurried approach and listens, giving people an opportunity to ask questions, share thoughts, and help create a tribute to the person who has meant so much to them. She takes her time to get to know the deceased and the family to create funeral arrangements to suit them, including having treasured possessions adorning the casket, and personal items that capture special memories and celebrate the life that was.
