Proudly Giving Back To Our Community

Strong community connections are at the core of Pellow & Hill’s values, continuing the legacy of care established by our forefathers Pellows Funeral Services and James R Hill Funeral Directors.

The P&H team has always recognised the importance of giving back, and this commitment is reflected in ongoing community sponsorships and initiatives.

Our Community Involvement

Fun, facts & sweet treats

We recently popped into Tamahere Country Club for an afternoon of all things funerals - with a refreshingly light-hearted approach.

Meet Shane: Caring, calm, professional

Shane is a long-standing, much-valued member of the Pellow and Hill Funerals team, working with both Pellows and James R Hill before the two brands were brought together. His experience with both organisations gives him a deep understanding of the care, professionalism, and traditions that continue to guide our work.

Meet Peanut

Peanut, our new miniature pony mascot, brings smiles, comfort, and a little lightness wherever she goes. From rest homes to community events, her calm nature and cuteness spread joy and create lovely connections.

Our 2026 Community Fund

We've launched our new Community Support Fund from which we will be able to return approximately $15,000 to our local communities by way of a range of sponsorships to grass root community organisations by the end of the year. This initiative is incredibly special, it brings together the families we’ve supported and our team, to give back to those doing great work in our community.

Mistah's Newly Donated Headstone

Mistah Paewhenua’s headstone at a Hamilton cemetery was vandalised beyond repair, but local funeral directors and stonemasons have come to the rescue.

2024 Sponsorship Recipients

These grants are designed to support organisations contributing to society through tireless effort, often using their own time and resources. Each nomination highlighted the real difference these groups make, reflecting the spirit of community and care that Pellow & Hill values deeply.
