Francis and Kaiora Tipene are the passionate proprietors of Tipene Funerals. Go behind the scenes of their business, where our culture's last taboo is addressed with dignity and aroha.

Francis has made a purchase which has raised some eyebrows in the office.

Francis has been tasked with organising the tangihanga for a close whānau member, his aunty Kataraina Kanara.

A young mother with two babies, Chozyn Koroheke, has been tragically killed in a homicide. Francis has tasked Astriss Sloan, a young wahine embalmer, with preparing her for her funeral.

Her grieving family want to spend one last night with her. So Francis must prepare her for her service in the family home, something he hasn’t done before.

Intertitle: He maimai aroha tēnei ki a Aunty Katarainga Kanara rāua ko Chozyn Koroheke . Rest in peace.
