Our Story
Founded by pet lovers, for pet lovers — a gentle, thoughtful farewell for Auckland’s companions.
Gentle Waves was founded by two lifelong friends, Erica and Summer, who share a deep love for animals and understand the heartbreak of losing them.
As pet owners ourselves, we’ve experienced the joy pets bring and the pain of saying goodbye. From that personal journey, Gentle Waves was born — with a simple mission: to provide Auckland families with a farewell service that reflects the love, dignity, and respect our companions deserve.
Today, we’re honoured to support families through such difficult moments with compassion and care, and treating every pet as though they were our own.
Compassion
Gentle guidance, patient care, and respect for every family’s wishes.
Transparency
We provide clear communication, transparent pricing, and keep you informed throughout the entire process.
Sustainability
A water-based process that’s gentle for pets and sustainable for the planet.
Why we started: We wanted a farewell that felt as gentle as the love pets give us — caring, calm, and considerate of our environment.
Our Space
A peaceful and welcoming environment where families can say goodbye, remember, and honour their beloved companions.
