Our History
Willie Abraham – Founder of W. Abraham Ltd – 1924
In 1924 Willie bought an established joinery factory. Through manufacturing caskets, he became involved in providing funeral services. During the early years, Willie redeveloped his joinery factory to incorporate a small Chapel.
After many years of serving New Plymouth, and having arranged more than 6 thousand funerals, Willie retired in 1960.
Our Families
Rose Haskell
Peter and Fraser provided a well rounded and balanced client service to our family when delivering our guest of honour, there was a perfect mix of smiles and bubbliness, and quiet words of support. I have never felt so comforted, being hugged by a stranger!…
Philippa Guptill
Awesome very helpful couldn’t have done more to help when my mother-in-law died beginning 2008. We had to return her to Rotorua so needed help of two funeral homes.
Muffy Whitmore
Excellent service. Janine went way beyond the call of duty. She never left any detail out. We could not have done it without her. So many people have commented that it was the best funeral they had ever been to. You made Bolts farewell so special so original. We will be forever grateful for everything you did and still do for us.
