The Tipenes expand their office and brood as Francis enjoys new toys and a slimmer body and the staff handle a disinterment and a child's funeral.
Māori funeral directors Francis and Kaiora Tipene and staff temper good humor with care and respect as they help Polynesian families cope with loss.
Return to your ancestral mountains to be cleansed by the winds of Tāwhirimātea
My prized albatross plume is drenched by the mists of sorrow
The tip of the moon has broken away
My love for you will never wane

What is the most important thing in the world? It is people, it is people, it is people
As one frond dies, another frond rises to take its place
