Exit Funeral Services is the way to go. They are professional, caring and very understanding, every that you require at a very difficult time. Thank you Diane & Gary.

We would highly recommend Exit Funerals to anybody looking for their services. We found Gary to be very friendly and helpful at such a sad time at the passing of our mother. It was very hard in these Covid times for family to be present (e.g. living in Australia) at this sad time but we made the best of a bad situation and I'm sure Mum would have been proud of the service the family gave her on her death.

Promp efficient service. Friendly and helpful.

My family & I recently chose Exit Funeral Services in the passing of my wife & mother Dawn Stevens. We would have no problem recomending Exit Funeral Services to anyone. Both Diane and Gary Shaw were excellent in every way. Which took a lot of pressure off me and my family, at this very sad time. I personally don't see the need to spend thousands of dollars to farewell loved ones, and what Diane & Garry did for us was excellent. Thank you Bill Stevens.

Genuine and Professional.Would Recommend.

Nothing was a problem and we were given a free hand to do as we wished for our Dad but were supported in our efforts in every way even if the were a bit out of the ordinary, Dad was treated with dignity at all times and Gary kept in contact every day until we said goodbye to our father.And again after the funeral which was really appreciated. Thank you so much.

I had to use Diane's services unfortunately due to the untimely death of my best friend. I found Diane very friendly and very helpful as I had never planned a funeral by myself before. I would definitely recommend Diane and Exit Funerals.

Gary did an amazing job. Friendly, easy-going and compassionate. Everything was explained well. No extra hidden costs. Diane did a lovely job of preparing our brother before we finally said goodbye. He looked himself and peaceful. We would definitely recommend your service. Thank you for the stress free services you provided for our family

Highly recommend Exit Services, they are amazing.

The family were made to feel very relaxed and after our first meeting with Gary everyone agreed that we made the correct decision to let Gary and Diane look after our loved one. From the first day to the day we said our farewells everything went very smoothly.

We would like to thank you both very much for the kindness shown to our late Mum and to the surviving family members, it was so nice to see Mum lying in the bed in the funeral parlour, it made her look so at peace and is so much nicer than seeing someone in a coffin. Also we all liked that we could write a final message on Mum's coffin.

Thank you Diane, Gary and Rebecca for helping our family at a very sad and hard time. Your helpfulness and professionalism was greatly appreciated by us; as was your compassion and warmth.

Dianne of Exit Funerals guided our family through the passing our our beloved father, John. From the very first encounter her dignity and discretion exhibited a profound understanding of a process that is unfamiliar to most of us. Her calm expertise elevated our entire experience of Dad's passing. We felt John and ourselves were intimately cared for, and that allowed us to deepen into this precious time. Dianne allowed our family freedom to make our own choices, then supported them with impeccable, understated service. Her care and preparation of Dad took our breath away. We hold her in great respect for her most refined calling, and unreservedly recommend her to all at your time of need.

We were recommended Exit Funeral services by an acquaintance when our dear mum passed away, we found the service and care they gave to our small family second to none .Thank you you Exit Funeral services.

Thank you all so much for the care you gave to Malcolm following his passing, our family really appreciated the sensitivity, empathy and consideration you showed us as a family during this time and my daughter and my niece appreciated the opportunity to prepare his service sheet.  We thought the setting at the Crematorium Chapel reflected our brother’s love of the ocean and the use of the utility rather than a hearse fit with his love of motorcycles and other vehicles.  

We would not hesitate to recommend you to our friends and extended family.

Exit funerals were wonderful to deal with in the passing of two family members within months of each other. They were very knowledgeable, had great advise , were caring and friendly. Nothing was a problem and they handled everything quickly and efficiently and with great communication too. As a family we would highly recommend Exit Funerals.

I was very happy with Exit Funerals. Diane was very easy to deal with - she was very empathetic & professional. I would definitely recommend them.

The family would like to thank you for your sensitivity, compassion and professionalism shown to us at the time of Mum’s passing.

We found Exit Funeral Services to be compassionate, professional and very reasonably priced in today’s funeral market. I would highly recommend them!

Things were done very quickly and easy. Diane and Gary were excellent to work with.

Thank you so much for your caring, professional and knowledgeable service whilst taking care of the necessary processes to help me carry out my Uncle's wishes after his death. I can not recommend highly enough your services.

Because of our circumstances & geographical problems Exit were instrumental in facilitating a convenient outcome at a time when the family had no idea or direction regarding funeral arrangements. Exit were responsive, friendly and dispelled the biggest fear by being affordable

I was delighted with all aspects of this service.We wanted a dignified reasonably priced service. We had a number of our own ideas eg open coffin, family pet present and Gary made it easy to achieve. The entire cost was about half that of any of the companies in Dunedin. I would highly recommend Exit Service for making a very differcult time less stressful.

Gary at Exit Caskets and Cremations made a very differcult situation incredibly easy, he came within half an hour of my first phone call and walked us kindly and carefully through the whole process. He went above and beyond anything I might have expected with his thoughtfulness, helpfulness, and his overall demeanour. I would very highly recommend him and his company without hesitation.

Gary was very friendly and compassionate, super responsive and helpful. Couldn,t have asked for better support or a better price at this incredibly tough time.

Our whanau were very happy with the service provided by Exit caskets. Gary came to our home and brought the casket for our loved one as soon as we called him. I highly reccommend Exit Caskets if want an eco-friendly casket at a reasonable price and great assistance
