Tūtaki ki ngā kanohi kei muri i tō mātou whare tangihanga manaaki

He roopu whakapumau matou o nga tangata tino tohu, ngaio, hoa aroha me te manaaki tangata e whakarato ana i te pa whaiaro me te tautoko e hiahiatia ana e nga whanau i te wa e pouri ana.

Bio ki te haere mai.

He tino harikoa ki ahau te mahi i taku mea pai mō ngā whānau, me te āwhina i a rātou i tēnei wā e hiahia ana rātou ki te tautoko whaiaro me te arataki.

Mai i te tau 2007 a Tania e noho ana i roto i te umanga tangihanga, i riro i a ia ona tohu mo te Whakahaere Tangata i te tau rua mano tekau ma tahi.

Kei te honore ahau ki te awhina i te arahi i nga taangata i roto i tetahi o nga wa tino wero i roto i o raatau oranga.

I timata a Kelvin i tana haerenga me te Academy Funeral Services i te tau 2005. I noho ia hei Kaipara Kaipara i te tau 2007, a, no muri mai ka oti tana tohu Whakahaere Tangata i te tau 2014. Ma te kaha me te whakaaro nui, ka kawea mai e Kelvin nga tau o te wheako me te manaakitanga ki ia whanau e tautoko ana ia.

Mai anō i te kura tuarua, i hiahia tonu ahau ki te uru atu ki te umanga whakahaere tangihanga, engari i mōhio ahau me whiwhi ahau i ētahi wheako o te ao i te tuatahi.”

Kua mahi a Murray i te umanga tangihanga mai i te tau 2008 – katoa mā Academy Funeral Services. He tohunga tāne me te kaiwhakahaere tangihanga a Murray. I mua i mahi ia mā Air New Zealand, e ai ki a ia he mahi tonu tana ki te tangata.

E ai ki a ia he hunga tino pai te mahi tahi me te tīma o Academy Funeral Services.

He waimarie ki te tiaki i nga whanau i te wa e hiahia ana ratou ki te tautoko me te arahi. Hei awhina i a ratou ki te whakatau i nga whakatau e taea ai e ratou te poroporoaki ki te tangata e arohaina ana i runga i o raatau ake huarahi.

He tūranga tino whai tikanga te noho hei Kaiwhakahaere Tāngihanga, ā, he honore nui ki te tautoko i ngā whānau i tēnei wā uaua. He honore nui, he kawenga hoki ki ahau te āwhina ki te whakanui i ngā oranga me te tuku whakamarie.

He tohunga tārai tūpāpaku a Claire i tīmata tana mahi i te tau 2011. Kua rongonui a Claire mō tōna aro nui ki ngā taipitopito me tōna pūkenga hangarau. I uru atu ia ki te tīma Academy i te tau 2019, ā, he taonga nui tōna wheako me tōna noho pūmau. E whakapau kaha ana a Claire ki te whakarato i te paerewa tiaki teitei, te whakahonore i ia tangata me te mana me te whakaute, me te tautoko i ngā whānau me te kaha marino i muri i ngā whakaaturanga.

He tohunga a Dean ki te whakahāngai tūpāpaku me te kaiwhakahaere tangihanga, ā, neke atu i te 30 tau ia e mahi ana i roto i te umanga tangihanga. E mōhiotia ana a Dean mō tana mahi tino tika me tana manaaki pono. I uru atu ia ki te Academy i te tau 2022, me te mau mai i te māramatanga hohonu ki ngā āhuatanga hangarau me ngā āhuatanga kare ā-roto o tana tūranga. E whakahīhī ana a Dean ki te āwhina i ngā whānau mā tana whakapau kaha ki te whakarite me te whakaatu i te tūpāpaku me te whakaute, me te whakarite kia manaakitia te tangata katoa e manaakitia ana e ia me te mana nui.

Ki ahau nei, he tino manaakitanga ki ahau te whai wāhi atu ki tētahi mahi iti nei i roto i tētahi tūranga rangatira.

Mai i tana wheako hokohoko, nā te whakapono i ārahi te tuwhera ki te huarahi ki te uru atu ki te umanga tangihanga. I tīmata a David i taua peke whakapono i te tau 2017 i tana urunga atu ki te umanga tangihanga, ā, i muri mai ka whai wāhi poto ia, kātahi ka hoki anō i te tau 2023 me te whakatau i tana tūranga hei Kaiāwhina Tangihanga i Academy Funerals.

He wā tino uaua te ngaronga o tētahi mō te tini. Ki ahau nei he mea whakahīhī te āwhina i ngā whānau i ngā huarahi katoa e taea ana, i runga i te ngaio me te aroha.

E waru tau ahau e mahi ana i te Kura, ā, kua kitea e au te tino harikoa i roto i te āwhina i ngā whānau kia whiti i tētahi o ngā wā tino aroha o te ao. I taku urunga atu ki te tīma, i tino tika taku whakaaro – ko te mea nui ko te iwi, me te āhua o tā mātou manaaki i a rātou me te aroha me te whakaute i te wā e hiahiatia ana.

I roto i taku tūranga, he nui tōku whakahīhī ki te hoahoa i ngā pepa ratonga motuhake e whakaata ana i te kōrero mō te oranga, te tuakiri me ngā hiahia o ia tangata. Ahakoa he rotarota tino pai a te tangata e arohaina ana, he tohu whakahirahira rānei, he hoahoa ngawari rānei e whakaatu ana i a ia. Ka whakarite ahau kia whai tikanga ā-kanohi, kia whai pānga hoki ki te kare ā-roto ia mihi whakanui.

Ka whakakotahihia e tēnei mahi taku aro nui ki ngā taipitopito, te mārama ki ngā hiahia o te whānau, me te whakapau kaha ki te mana me te pono. Ehara i te mea he hanga taonga whakamaharatanga noa iho – engari he whakanui i tētahi oranga pai i ora ai.

He rawe nga kaimahi ki te mahi tahi.

I timata a Julie ki te mahi me te Academy Funeral Services i te tau 2013. He pai ki a ia te awhina i nga whanau, ina koa he pai ki a ia te whakarite i nga pepa karakia mo te tangihanga.
