Personal Funeral Care from Eldon and Leslee
Whittakers Funeral Care Waipu, you are cared for by real people who take the time to listen.
Eldon and Leslee understand that every family is different. Some families know exactly what their loved one wanted. Others are unsure where to begin. Some need a quiet, simple arrangement, while others want a service with music, memories, photos, flowers, karakia, prayer, or time together with whānau.
Whatever feels right for your family, Eldon and Leslee will talk through the options gently and clearly. You will not be rushed or pressured. You will be guided one step at a time, with care and respect.
Supporting the Waipu and Bream Bay Community
Waipu is a place where community matters. Families often have long-standing connections through neighbours, local groups, farming, the coast, schools, churches, sports clubs and generations of family history.
Eldon and Leslee, Whittakers Funeral Care Waipu understand how important those connections can be when someone has passed away.
A farewell may be quiet and private, or it may bring together family, friends and whānau from across Waipu, Bream Bay and wider Northland. We will help you create a farewell that reflects your loved one’s life, values, culture and wishes.
Our role is to support your family with manaakitanga, aroha and practical care.
Clear, Transparent and Tailored Funeral Arrangements
When someone has passed away, there can be many practical things to think about. We are here to help make those steps feel clearer and less overwhelming.
Eldon and Leslee will explain your options in plain language, including the costs involved, so your family understands each decision before moving forward.
The aim is simple: to help you honour your loved one in a way that feels personal, respectful and right for your family.
