SIMPLY RESPECTFUL. SIMPLY AFFORDABLE

Simplicity Funerals offer a professional and respectful service, provided by experienced and fully qualified staff. Every service is different, and with the knowledge and extensive experience in helping families from various cultural and religious backgrounds our funeral directors can arrange a memorable service of celebration to honour the life of your loved one.

We work closely with our families and provide gentle guidance at a time when it is needed most. Whether you need to arrange a funeral for a loved one, or you are trying to take the burden of arranging your own funeral from someone else, we are here to guide you through the arrangements whilst respecting your wishes every step of the way.

Simplicity is for everyone – we know it doesn’t have to cost the earth to mean the world. Our services mean you can say goodbye on your terms, because simplicity means living (and dying) within your means. We always provide the most respectful and affordable option that suits your needs.

Peace of mind – we are also members of the Funeral Directors Association of New Zealand. This means that you have peace of mind that we are upholding a strong standard of code and ethical principles consistent on a national level.

Plan ahead today – for peace of mind tomorrow. Planning in advance can make a difficult time easier for your family. While a major life change may prompt you to begin planning your funeral, it’s never too soon to start thinking about what you want. Simplicity Funerals can supply you with a free preplanning pack to record your personal information and your preferences for your funeral.

Our locations –We can now offer locations in both Nelson and Richmond. Call in to see us at 69 Haven Road, Nelson or 276b (Petrie Car Park), Richmond.

TOP OF THE SOUTH’S MOST EXPERIENCED PROPERTY MANAGERS

Summit Property Management is the largest and longest serving property management company in the Nelson Marlborough region, from small beginnings in the 1990’s Summit Property Management has grown from excellent word of mouth and referral of new clients. We have always focused on the core areas of customer service and industry-leading systems to do our upmost to provide a personal yet professional service with communication as the key.

At Summit Property Management we have offices in each local town; Nelson, Stoke, Richmond, Motueka, Blenheim and Picton – this way we have our Property Managers looking after a small geographic area and as our property managers are local they are able to keep a close eye on their clients’ rental properties and be there when we are needed, this gives our clients real peace of mind that things are being well looked after. We get great deals from trades people and service people to pass onto our clients often at trade rates, also we can get repairs and maintenance arranged quickly to avoid deterioration and keep our tenants happy –happy tenants equal happy landlords!

If you are looking for great communication from a property manager then look no further than the team at Summit. We make a real effort to make personal phone calls to our clients rather than just send off e-mails and that way we can hold open discussions and often work out solutions together. Right now, we are offering a special deal for clients who have tenancies up and running wishing to change agencies, where we transfer the management of your rental property from another company on your behalf, and we also have great discounts for owners of more than one rental property.

GRAPHIC DESIGN WITH A HAND-DRAWN CHARM

Agraphic designer and illustrator for more than 15 years, Katerina Garnyk’s unique style of illustrations are recognisably appealing. Working as a children’s book illustrator and creator, Katerina offers graphic design services within a wide range of print products including annual reports, event flyers, navigation maps, invitation cards, business cards, digital presentations and booklets, as well as layout and preparing files for printing. “I believe that including an original, hand drawing or digital illustration to a flyer or an invitation will make the design eye-catching, unique, and stand out from others. I have my unique hand drawing style, which is rather distinctive, and its main trait is kind, gentle humour which I like to bring to the illustrations. The characters of my illustrations are easily spotted around us, and this makes my drawings so charming.”

Showcasing her work to the public, Katerina is excited to announce, with the support of Multicultural Nelson Tasman, an upcoming exhibition at the Elma

Turner Library along with the publishing of her new book of English idioms.

“This exhibition will be devoted to Kiwi language which contains particular words and expressions that many native English speakers from other countries might not be even aware. This event is to be at the end of September so keep an eye on the library announcements!”

Wanting to be an artist for as long as she can remember, Katerina loves to visualise ideas, bringing to life characters that her imagination created. “I absolutely love to notice something funny around and make it visible for others. When I see smiles which my cartoons bring on people’s faces, this is priceless for me and gives me so much energy and willingness to keep on drawing.” A portfolio of Katerina’s work is available through www.dribbble.com and her Facebook platform: @katerina.garnyk
