Poll: Would you want an unconventional funeral?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving.

Scam caller

Gail from Kamo

Hi all I just received a phone call from 246347198 which had a recorded message stating that my Vodafone contract has been terminated.
I don't use Vodafone so obviously a scam. Just letting everyone know in case 😉
