Funeral service sheets are an essential aspect of honoring and celebrating the life of a loved one who has passed away. Understanding the importance of culturally relevant resources, He Aroha Te Aroha provides a unique platform that allows users to customise and personalise uhunga/tangihangs service sheets in a way that resonates with their cultural values and practices.

Upon visiting our app, users are greeted with a range of beautifully designed service sheet templates with Māori design elements. The templates feature elegant cursive serif bold headings, Minion Pro body font for readability, and a color palette inspired by the hues of paua shells - blues, purples, greens, and silvers. These design elements create a visually stunning and culturally authentic backdrop for commemorating the life of a loved one. What sets He Aroha Te Aroha apart is its emphasis on customisation and personalisation. Users have the ability to upload photos of their loved ones, incorporate karakia and waiata. To access these customisations, users are required to sign up or sign in to the app. All designs and uploads are saved to their profiles, allowing easy editing, and downloading of the service sheets in PDF format. This user-friendly interface empowers whānau Māori to create thoughtful and meaningful tributes to their loved ones, fostering a sense of engagement and connection. He Aroha Te Aroha embodies the spirit of aroha and whanaungatanga in honoring the memories of those who have passed on.
