The Lychway Funeral Directors

The Lychway Funeral Directors

Your assurance of ethical, caring and professional service.

The Lychway Funeral Directors (formerly Thomas Griggs and Son) have been assisting families in the Manawatu with professional care since the firm was founded in 1879. The long standing philosophy of The Lychway Funeral Directors is to provide the utmost in funeral service excellence. It is important to us that families are given the right to make their own decisions and choices to create a unique and personalised funeral service for their loved one.

Our experienced and qualified professionals are able to guide you through the many facets of a funeral to assist you in making personalised funeral arrangements suitable to your family.

The Lychway Funeral Directors provide a modern, comfortable air conditioned chapel and adjoining catering lounge, surrounded by landscaped gardens. Video recording facilities are available to record the funeral service in the chapel and power point presentations can also be arranged. If these services are required at other venues, one of our staff will only be too happy to organise this.

We offer a range of caskets to suit all tastes and budgets.  We can arrange flowers(of your choice), insertion of newspaper notices, and the printing of personalised service sheets.

Pre-arranged and Pre-paid Funerals

Planning a funeral in advance makes good sense these days, no matter what your age.  These arrangements should be considered as a natural part of your early retirement planning. Pre-arranging a funeral allows you to plan a funeral service in accordance with your wishes.  A pre-paid funeral takes the pre-arrangement one step further by deciding to pay in advance for the funeral options you have chosen.  One of our caring and friendly staff is available at any time to discuss your wishes.
