Francis and Kaiora Tipene are the passionate proprietors of Tipene Funerals. Go behind the scenes of their business, where our culture's last taboo is addressed with dignity and aroha.

Today Tipene Funeral is caring for a 79 year old Sāmoan woman who has struggled with breast cancer for 10 years. Frances enlists Fehi to help him with the finishing touches.

Francis wants to install more security cameras in the office.

A 20 year old woman has passed away from leukemia. Tipene Funerals has been tasked with organising her funeral, which weaves together burial tikanga from Fiji, Tonga, and Aotearoa.

Intertitle: He maimai aroha tēnei ki a Telesia Luafatele Ale rāua ko Kuila Tuivoavoa. Rest in peace.
