Heartfelt care, every step of the way

At Aroha Funerals, we believe death and dying are a natural part of life and every farewell should be as unique as the life it honours.

Our caring team listens, supports, and guides you through each step with compassion, respect, and understanding, offering clear options, transparent pricing, and gentle, personalised care.

Whether you’re planning ahead or arranging a service for someone you love, we’re here when you need us.

About Aroha

Compassion, Respect, Honesty, Presence

Founded by Janet Mikkelsen, Aroha Funerals began from a belief that farewelling a loved one should be personal, gentle and grounded in real care. What started with Janet’s palliative care experience and heartfelt vision has now grown into a dedicated team who share the same values of compassion, dignity and listening first.

We honour the significance of every loss, working quietly and respectfully beside families as they say goodbye in their own way. Guided by honesty, full transparency, cultural awareness and genuine warmth, we focus on what matters most – connection, remembrance and love.

Sustainability

We care deeply about our impact on the world around us. That’s why we offer a range of choices, including rental caskets, biodegradable options, and a tree planted in memory of every person we cremate. We keep things simple, sustainable, and thoughtful – from our flexible, family-led approach to our low-waste service options to ensure a smaller carbon footprint from our services.
