Trees of Remembrance

Locations across Whangārei, 1^st– 12^th December

Locations are:

• Mitre 10 Mega Whangārei
• PAK’n'SAVE Whangārei
• New World Regent
• ASB Bank Whangārei
• and Farmers Whangārei

Our Trees of Remembrance return this December, standing across Whangārei as places to pause, reflect, and remember.

Write the name or a message to a loved one you’re missing and hang it on the tree in their honour.

At the end of the season, each heart and star is gathered and cremated, with the ashes scattered in the North Haven Hospice in-patient unit gardens – a poignant shared moment of love for all those we carry with us this holiday season and beyond.

Every donation made at our Trees of Remembrance supports North Haven Hospice to care for people who are dying in our community, and to support their whānau.

We’d like to extend a thank you to our volunteers and team for making these Trees of Remembrance possible.
