Mackie Hazel Memorial Funeral Home has set another trend with the introduction of Memorial Financing: as a trendsetter in the funeral business here in St. Kitts and Nevis, they are now providing support when families need it the most through this new initiative which was launched yesterday, (November 19th) outside of their Church Street office.
Its latest move: re-branding the Funeral Home’s colours, partnering with Advance Caribbean to offer families Memorial Financing– lower financing and longer payment times.
Featured Speaker Ms. David emphasized that Mackie Hazel’s new Base Funeral Package costing $8500, includes no hidden or additional charges. She said:
Simply put our second principle is WE CARE.
As we venture into the new decade, stay in touch. We continue to care and we will continue to find news ways to share. 
During the official ceremony chaired by Stanley Knight, blessings were invoked, the newly branded look was unveiled, the new dream team was introduced, pamphlets about the services and new plans were distributed.
Director of Youth, Pierre Liburd gave brief remarks. He spoke about the partnership between the funeral home and the youth department; Mackie Hazel Memorial Funeral Home came forward last year as a major sponsor for the books featuring the Remarkable Teens of 2018.
Also giving remarks was Mrs. Diana Pemberton, country manager of Advance Caribbean. Speaking on the new Memorial Financing plan, (two year repayment plan) she said:
This partnership speaks volume, that we imagine would have a lasting impact in the nation. Memorial Financing will aim to support families during their time of bereavement while providing financing through payment plans.
Families can look forward to an even lower reduced interest rate with a longer term payment plan.
At Advance Caribbean we look to embark on this journey together with Mackie Hazel Memorial Funeral as we seek to move Caribbean people forward.
