A dinosaur themed farewell for an 8 year old
Kāpiti Coast Funeral Home recently helped create a truly special farewell for eight-year-old Ryder. His dinosaur-themed funeral featured a Jurassic Park soundtrack, a dinosaur-covered casket, and even a heartfelt haka performed by a man in a T-Rex costume.
Funerals like Ryder’s give families the space to grieve, celebrate the life of their loved one, and find comfort in meaningful rituals. Every detail — from the theme to the ceremony — can help families feel supported and understood during one of life’s most difficult moments.
Grieving is never easy, but a personalised farewell can make the journey a little gentler.
