John Rhind Funeral Directors

John Rhind Funeral Directors has been part of the Christchurch and Canterbury community for 125 years, making us one of the region's most established businesses.We are also situated on the corner of Williams and Charles Streets in Kaiapoi Tel No 327 7499.

John Rhind's approach is what you would expect from a funeral firm that is generations old: friendly, understanding and, above all, sincere. The services we provide demonstrate caring professionalism, and we know how to take care of the details when arranging a funeral - whether it's being held now or being pre-arranged or pre-paid for some time in the future.

We offer a modern and comfortable chapel, with its beautiful garden and fountain beyond the altar window. Our catering lounge, serving a tempting array of savouries, sandwiches, cakes and fruit platters, is a popular venue for a get-together after the funeral.

In the weeks after the funeral is over, it can help to have someone on hand who understands what a difficult time this can be coping with grief and John Rhind Funeral Directors offers, free of charge, a bereavement support person to talk things through. We also offer a free book (or colourful poster for children) to help you understand the effects of grief.
