Heartbeats Takapuna Meeting Next Thursday
Heartbeats Takapuna meets on the first THURSDAY of each month at the Mary Thomas Centre, 3 Gibbons St, Takapuna (just behind the Takapuna Library).
Our next meeting is THURSDAY 6TH AUGUST.
Come along to an informal, engaging meeting of cardiac survivors, their partners and broader family. We are all about providing information on heart disease and 'sharing the journey'. Our members are diverse and have experienced the full range of heart and cardiovascular issues and surgeries. There are no fees or commitments required and everyone who has had a heart event is welcome.
Poll: Would you want an unconventional funeral?
Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving. Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.
