He Panui tenei mai i a Haven Falls ki WellingtonE nga mana, e nga reo, o tena hapu, o tena iwi, tenei te mihi kia koutou katoa.

Bereavement Panui on behalf of the Burton whanau regarding the passing of their beloved Father Desmond Burton who sadly passed away on Friday the 10th of December 2021 in Lower Hutt. Matua Desmond is currently laying in state at the whanau whare in Lower Hutt and will remain there until his private cremation on Tuesday the 14th of December 2021. Whanau have advised that there will be a private whanau gathering to be held at the Whanau whare to bid farewell to Matua Desmond.The whanau have informed us that the tangihanga for Matua Desmond will be a Covid 19 Non vaccinated Kaupapa and they ask that whanau and friends adhere to this decision.I runga hoki I nga whiriwhiringa me nga hiahia o te whanau Burton kua meingahia e ratou, ka noho ta ratou Tangihanga I raro I nga tikanga o te maheretanga Rongoa-arai mate, e tumanako ana te whanau kia ngakau whakaaute mai koutou ki ta ratou hiahia.

 Feel free to contact us for more information. Nga mihi aroha ki a koutou. Moe mai ra e te matua, hoki ki nga matua tupuna kua wehe, haere, haere, hoki atu.
