WHERE WILL THE SERVICE BE?
Where the funeral service is held is an important aspect of funeral planning. You may choose to use one of our funeral chapels, or a crematorium chapel. If the person who has died was a member of a religious denomination, often the service will be held in their local church.

A funeral service can be held in the family home or any other setting that has significance for the person who has died and their family.

When arranging a large funeral, families sometimes choose another venue appropriate to the large number of people likely to attend. Some examples are Knox or First Church, the Dunedin Town Hall, and the Edgar Centre.

A catering lounge for a 'cup of tea' is seen as an important feature when selecting a venue. Our funeral director will be happy to discuss suitable options for you to consider.

Chapel 3
Chapel 4
Gold Room Chapel

Our newly designed lounge areas can provide an intimate atmosphere for a small gathering. The Gold Room comfortably accommodates 15-20 seats and acknowledges that not all funerals are large public affairs. This area perfectly suits the smaller, intimate private farewells, funerals and gatherings.

Local art collection

The Hope family have collected many artworks, especially since 1970, to support the local art community and to beautify our premises. It is now the largest private collection on public display in Dunedin. Many families find a familiar landscape or an area within a painting that stirs up a good memory and provides therapeutic benefit. The oldest painting in the collection is dated 1908. Hope and Sons is a corporate member and major sponsor of the Otago Art Society.

Car park

A car park with easy access from both Andersons Bay Road and Oxford Street can accommodate over 100 cars. Immediate family have the convenience of being able to park under cover at the front of the chapel and have direct access to the chapel. A dedicated disabled car park is located near the East door.
