Our Facilities
Sowman’s is situated on the corner of Hutcheson and Parker Sts, a peaceful, green space on the edge of the Blenheim CBD.
Our funeral facilities include an air-conditioned chapel, reception lounge, and a private family room for before or after the service, with full refreshments available. There’s plenty of parking available for guests, with reserved spaces next to the chapel for family members.
We also have our own cremation facility on site along with an extensive monumental showroom.
If you’d like one of our staff to show you through the chapel and lounge, please contact us.

The Sowman's Elm
This magnificent tree in the courtyard has been around as long as Sowman’s itself. It’s at least 150 years old and still thriving.
Elm trees are traditionally associated with the cycle of life, death and rebirth. They’re the Christian symbol of strength. When the Sowman’s elm bursts into leaf every Spring, it never fails to lift our hearts.
