Sure  none  of us  really  want  to  think  about  it,  after  all  life  is  all  about  enjoying  the  moment.  However,  sometimes  plans  are  important  too,  they  help  us to  achieve  our  goals  and  aspirations.  So  why  would  you  leave  your  final  opportunity  to  say  your  piece,  to  chance?  Saying  goodbye  is  always  difficult  but  there  are  so  many  ways  of  making  it  easier.  Over  time  at Dunstalls  weve  helped  hundreds  of  Hawkes  Bay  people  of  all  ages  with  their  last  unique  wishes. Often  many,  many  years  before  they  pass  away. Sometimes  its  a  quirky  request  that  others  would  never  have  thought  about  or  simply  a  list  of  your  favorite  music  to be  played  on  the  day.  After  all,  your  loved  ones  want  to  remember  you  for  who  you  really  are,  with  a  farewell  that  gives  those  left  behind  something  to  cherish.  Whatever  you  really  want,  we  can  help  make  it  possible  simply  by  planning  ahead.
