Cultural & Religious
Services We Honour

At Newhaven Funerals, we recognise that each culture and religion has its own meaningful customs and rituals when it comes to saying goodbye. We are dedicated to providing funeral services that respect and reflect the unique traditions of each family, ensuring that every farewell is carried out with reverence and authenticity. Our team works closely with religious and cultural leaders to uphold these practices. Below are some of the key groups we frequently serve:

Buddhist

We offer traditional Buddhist funeral services, including ceremonial chanting, incense offerings, and other important rites that allow families to honor their loved ones in accordance with Buddhist funeral traditions.

Māori

We accommodate traditional Māori funeral rites, including the tangi ceremony, guidance from kaumātua, and rituals such as karakia (prayers) and pātea (chants), ensuring a respectful farewell in line with Māori funeral customs.

Chinese

For Chinese families, we facilitate funerals rooted in ancient traditions, encouraging the use of ancestral tablets, the burning of offerings, and other meaningful customs that help celebrate the life of the deceased and pay respects to their ancestors during the Chinese funeral process.

Vietnamese

We are well-versed in Vietnamese funeral practices, including the three-day memorial service, ancestor offerings, and other rites that hold deep cultural significance for families during their mourning period, offering respectful Vietnamese funeral services.

Korean

Our services for Korean families reflect the traditional “jesa” ceremony, which involves family gatherings and specific rituals that are important in honoring and remembering loved ones within the Korean funeral tradition.

Indonesian

Indonesian funeral rites vary depending on culture and religion. We assist families with services that reflect the diversity of the Indonesian funeral community, whether through Christian, Islamic, or other traditional practices.

Arabic & Middle Eastern

We offer respectful and comprehensive funeral services for Arabic and Middle Eastern families, ensuring adherence to Islamic burial traditions, including swift burial, prayer, and other customs that provide comfort during this difficult time.
