About Us

Nelson and Susan Elliott Funeral Services

A family owned and operated funeral home with over 40 years funeral directing experience located on the North Shore, Auckland.

Nelson Elliott

Over 40 years Funeral Directing experience and 20 years on the North Shore

Originally, we established Elliotts Funerals in Tauranga, before returning to live on the North Shore. Here, I took up the roles of Funeral Director at Dils Funerals and H Morris Funerals, kick-starting my commitment to Auckland’s funeral services.

As a funeral director, I am very flexible. Some families want us to take care of all the small details, while others are very hands on. I enjoy the diverse types of people that I meet and helping families create a uniquely memorable ceremony.

Susan Elliott

25 years as the Organist and Music Director at St Joseph’s Church, Takapuna. Past teacher at St Joseph's, Rosmini College, Takapuna, and Stella Maris School, Silverdale.

As a North Shore resident for over 40 years, I am well-connected to the community. I have 5 grown up children and spent time teaching in several schools, before dedicating my time to becoming a full time lady funeral director in our family business.

I find that my position as a lady funeral director, is a very special and rewarding one. I feel privileged to work with families at a most vulnerable time and I look forward to sharing many ideas to help make each service beautiful and memorable.

Testimonials

Thank you so much to Sue and Nelson for taking care of our Dad after his passing. You took care of all the arrangements with such genuine care and compassion, making the burden of such a difficult time a little easier to bear. We adored our Dad and you ensured we were able to farewell him in such a special way. A heartfelt thank you from all of our family.

I just wanted to give a heartfelt testimonial should you wish to wish it on your website. again thank you so much. Nelson and Susan Eliott Funeral Services gave our precious girl Chloe the most heartfelt and compassionate care. They truly listened to our wishes for our child's service and went above and beyond our expectations at a difficult time. The Elliots are very caring people and I cannot recommend them enough.

Thank you seems so little to encompass all of our gratitude for everything you did to help ease our pain and sense of deep loss when dad passed away. You were both truly our angels at a time when we really needed the arms of angels...

Thank you for the kind caring and efficient way in which you made all our wishes possible with such short notice, in sending our mum off on her final journey. The candles, petals and piano music made for a lovely celebration that we shall remember always

I really appreciate what you did for us. The sad time we went through was made less anxious and stressful by your kindness. Everything fell together like a jigsaw puzzle...

Words cannot express our gratitude for the professional services of caring for our mother and grandmother.

The leadup to our mother's funeral was fraught with opposing opinions, and a general atmosphere of tension and shock I found Nelson refreshingly normal, always reassuring and friendly, with Susan's help and skill in the background. Thank you so much Nelson. We couldn't have done it without your guidance. The funeral itself would have made our mother so very proud.
