Simon Williams
Simon, joined the team in June 2024, a North Canterbury local is married, to Annette and has two adult daughters. Simon enjoys playing Masters Football for Waimakiriri United Football Club and is also a keen musician. It all started with bagpipes but Simon soon realised that the saxophone was a better choice! Piano and Bass guitar have since been added – but Simon would still rather play the saxophone, given the chance. Early in life, as Simon began his working career, he wanted to be a Funeral Director, however life took a different direction, which led him into pastoral care. When the opportunity arose with John Rhind North Canterbury Simon was in the position to realise the dream from years ago. Now bringing together all his skills for the families and individuals we serve.
Amber Leigh Haustein
Amber began her journey the funeral industry in 2020, she has been around the funeral home most of her life because Amber is Mark Glanville’s step-daughter. Amber is also very good at listening, and she makes a great cuppa tea! Outside of work Amber and her fiancé Paul live locally in Woodend, spending most their time caring for their baby boy Fynn, they also love walking the dog ‘Wednesday’ at the beach or forest and attending the local Rockabilly hops!
