Flowers for someone in Huntly (Rāhui Pōkeka)

Huntly, Rāhui Pōkeka, straddles the Waikato River 32 km north of Hamilton and 95 km south of Auckland. About 8,550 people live here. The town was named in the 1870s after Huntly in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, and grew on coal: bricks have been made here since 1884, and Huntly Power Station, New Zealand's largest thermal power station, was commissioned in 1982 with a 150-metre chimney. This is what we know that helps with sending flowers.

Kimihia Home & Hospital on Rosser Street

Eldernet lists one care home in Huntly: Kimihia Home & Hospital at 76 Rosser Street. Include the resident's full name and room on your order, and keep the arrangement modest in size so it fits beside the bed.

Kimihia Cemetery, marae and Huntly tangihanga

Huntly Kimihia Cemetery is on Great South Road and is run by Waikato District Council; the council says its cemeteries are open for visiting 24 hours a day, all year round. Funeral flowers are usually sent to the funeral home or the family home.

Marae in and around the town include Kaitumutumu, Te Kauri and Te Ōhākī, as well as Waahi Pa, the historic home of the Māori queen Dame Te Atairangikaahu. If the farewell is on a marae, our tangihanga guide explains what to bring, and our sympathy flower guide covers card wording.

Lake Hakanoa, Puketirini and the old mine pits

Lakes Kimihia, Hakanoa, Puketirini and Waahi are former open-pit mine sites that are now used for recreation, and farmland surrounds the town. If your recipient lives out by the lakes or on a farm, their address will include an RD number. Write 'RD' and the number without dots, then the mailtown and postcode, exactly as they give it. Rural addresses can take longer, and weekend delivery is limited in many areas.

Prizegiving flowers from Huntly College to Rākaumangamanga

Local schools include Huntly College, which opened in 1953, Huntly School, Huntly West School, St Anthony's Catholic School and Te Wharekura o Rākaumangamanga. For an end-of-year prizegiving or a leaver's milestone, send flowers to the family home rather than the school, so they are received by someone who can put them straight into water.

Huntly families with a patient at Waikato Hospital

We have no hospital listed in Huntly. If the person is at Waikato Hospital in Hamilton, flowers are not allowed in Critical Care (ICU and HDU); no rule is published for other wards, so check with the ward before sending.
