Testimonials

Oh Helen....

I opened your email this morning and cried my eyes out.

Thank you so much Helen, not just for the end result (which is beautiful) but for personally helping me to move through this process.

At the start, I couldn't face it, I was certain I couldn't do it. I was torn between wanting to honour mum with a beautiful headstone but at the same time not wanting her to have a headstone because that would make what happened real - a concept I've struggled with since she left.

So I was stuck, and couldn't see a way out. But then Tony introduced me to you and you somehow gently guided me through.

God bless you Helen for caring so much, the world would be a better place if we had more people like you in it.

Thank you again, Diane Gavet

Moe and Aro Memorial, Mangere Team!

On behalf of the Tu'ipulotu Family we Thank you so very much for the hard work and the dedication you have put into our parents' headstone. The unveiling on the 7th July, 18 was beautiful.

It was an unforgettable day for the whole family in Tonga and abroad. Your efforts made this day possible. The headstone and the photo make the memories of our parents come alive and we will treasure them forever.

Once again, thank you very much, Keep up the Good Work!

To Helen and the staff at New Lynn,

We would like to express our appreciation on a job well done.

Thank you Helen for the countless emails back and forth, it really kept us informed on the process.

Your support, patience and knowledge offered to my sister Debbie and mum was much appreciated.

It really was a team effort. The outcome was a beautiful unveiling last Sunday.

The craftsmanship and design and the personal messages on dad's headstone was admired by all that attended. It was exactly what mum envisioned and we as a family supported her through this. We thank you again and only wish you many blessings and best wishes for the year ahead for you and your family.

Kindest regards

Hi Belinda,

The stone was delivered safely to the Solomons, and was installed over Christmas.

I have not seen any photos but have been told it looked very good and was appreciated by all.

Many thanks for all your help last year. Please pass our thanks and best wishes for the new year to your colleagues there at Aro

Morena Eric,

Heather and I would like to thank you, Belinda and the boys in the back for the beautiful job done on Adam's headstone, it certainly looks terrific in the urupa. On the day of the unveiling everything went well and everybody was impressed, and especially when Adam's older brother explained the significance of the headstone, the koru, the surfboard, the ta moko and the Kerala base.

We would especially like to thank you for your guidance and sound advice and Belinda for her perseverance in adapting to our requests when designing Adam's ta moko. A job well done.

Thank you, and may all your endeavours be fruitful.

Regards Joe & Heather Morunga

Dear Belinda and the team at Aro

I am just writing to say thank you to you and your team for the amazing work that was done for our father's headstone. The positive comments about our father's headstone that were made at the unveiling just demonstrates the professional, affordable and efficient service that our family experienced with your company.

A special mention of Belinda and her amazing patience as we changed the layout many times/requested different types of samples to view and the many questions that were always answered!

Not to mention that this was all done via email between Brisbane and Auckland!

The result was a perfect headstone that will always have a special significance to our family!

Simple yet effective! So on behalf of the "Sao" family we once again congratulate your team on a job extremely done well!
