A little about Debbie Hawker…
I am married to my surfing mad husband with whom I have two beautiful daughters and a fur baby of the Jack Russell variety called Buddy Donut (the kids chose his middle name).
We live across the road from, and love the South Brighton beach with plans to stay here until we are grey and wrinkly.
Some of my favourite activities are any form of shopping, having a vino and a good catch up with loved ones (sometimes followed up by bad food choices with t-sauce). I also love camping with my friends and family near any of the beautiful waters that surround NZ.
I have years of experience working with people from all walks of life. Regardless of budget and the size of your gathering, I assure you that you will have my complete dedication to ensure your loved ones final farewell is planned with compassion, thought and respect.
I offer a relaxed service (with a touch of humour when needed) guiding you thoughtfully through this incredibly emotionally & often overwhelming journey.
My ceremony style can be tailored to each families unique requirements.
It is an honour to support you by bringing your family & friends together to say farewell to your loved one on their terms in familiar surroundings.
Debbie is both vibrant and sincere. We could not help but smile with her. We felt that Debbie went above and beyond our expectations, investing time and taking initiative with things outside her job description. Debbie was friendly, professional, and caring every step of the way.
On the day we wanted to surround ourselves with good people. We had our family and friends there, and we would count Debbie amongst those. We are incredibly lucky that our paths have crossed. With pleasure, we enthusiastically recommend Debbie Hawker!
Debbie was such a fantastic celebrant for us. From the first time we met her she was so warm and professional and really seemed to “get” us. Debbie was always available to answer our questions super promptly.
We felt we were in excellent hands on the day and instead of being nervous we were able to just relax.
We can’t thank you enough Debbie for making our day so special and memorable and for all your thought and attention. I will be sure to recommend Debbie to anyone in the future.
