Awesome place, so huge and clean the Chapel has many seating capacity and 3 Monitors inside, Grounds well looked after.
Unfortunately we did not have a good experience having a funeral at the gardens. Firstly, it took over an hour to try and get someone on the phone to make a booking. Making the booking only took a few minutes so I don’t know why there had to be such a long wait. We eventually booked the funeral in but then were rung back in the afternoon to be told that the lounge wasn’t actually available for after the service and we would have to make alternative arrangements. We figured out somewhere to go instead, put a notice in the paper and let everyone know about the funeral. The next day I received a phone call to say they had double booked us completely. You can imagine how stressful that was. We ended up having to change celebrants because she couldn’t make the new time which was a shame because she had done other family funerals and we really liked her and had to spend the day ringing people to let them know. Not the best way to spend your time grieving. We had planned for the coffin to be lowered at the end of the funeral and were told this was ok. We were told a few minutes before the ceremony that the mechanism was broken. So we had to rush around among the guests trying to organise for people to carry it out. Honestly, the days after someone you love passing are HARD and stressful. Manukau Memorial Gardens made it harder. I don’t know what is going on that is causing their issues but I hope no one else has to go through the stress of experiencing them.
The renovation allowed for more vehicle escorts more pliable and better curb side parking but it is another story getting in through the main entrance during peak traffic hours same with exiting, there tends to be a lot of vehicle traffic going in and out. For visits it is best to go in the early morning when it's opened or later in the evening to avoid burials. A lot cleaner than I last remember it and more spacious.
beautiful grounds and well looked after. Jonah Lomu is buried here. Worth paying respect. Stick to paths and respect others in park. I paid tribute because Eden Park never acknowledged JL when I did the tour. it's a must. Legend.
I attended my family cremation service inside the chapel. It was peaceful and calm a warmth. 2 monitors at the entrance lots of seating A clean and tidy venue. A monitor also inside so you can show video or video clips of your loved ones
It is a huge & beautiful place. Peaceful. Allot of different areas for example, RSA, wall memorial area, burial areas, cremation areas & a hill where you can scatter the ashes if you don't want to bury them. Public toilets around area. Crematorium, Chapel, Hall where people can go eat & have tea, coffees. If you want to bring your own food. I recommend this place.
This old lady at the administration office is rather rude. Booking made weeks ago to show us around the cementary. However, this lady said no one is available to do that and asked us to buy and pay right away. We insisted to have someone to show us around and explaining the options available given that we had already booked weeks ago and finally a polite old man was available.
Wow, what a difference a week makes. I’ve been to the cemetery several times and found the service superb. Just a couple weeks ago, the manager helped me find a plaque on the wall there. Came by yesterday and the staff were so rude. Asked to speak to that nice man who helped me and was told they had made him redundant. Whoever made that decision is a moron of the highest order.
In 1987 I lay my baby boy to rest in this beautiful cemetary. Shortly after we made a little surround for his grave and filled it with pebbles and put toys and ornaments on top, it looked beautiful and we kept it beautiful. A few other people did much the same. Not long after it was all ripped up and thrown in rubbish skips, this I had to learn through the local paper, we didn't even get asked to remove it. I kind of understood as they said it was a lawn cemetary and they could not mow it with this on top. I have visited many times and it was usually kept nice. However today I visited and was gutted, actually devestated as it looked like a dump. The grass looked like it hadn't been mowed for month's, the weeds covered his plaque and there was crosses strewn around the long grass and broken toys and ornament strewn all over the place. So upsetting to see, please know that people visit these graves and are left so upset when they leave Wendy Jaggar
Lovely service for a dear friend. Heaps of room for extra people, chairs were found for many many more than we were expecting. Catering very good. Everything went smoothly, no problems.
