The Gisborne Herald • Tuesday, April 13, 2021 NATIONAL NEWS 7 Creative caskets

AUCKLAND — From doughnuts to Star Trek and sail boats, one Auckland-based company is making custom caskets like you’ve never seen before. Dying Art makes unique caskets which reflect the people who will eventually lay inside them — whether it’s a love for fire engines, doughnuts or Lego. Owner and founder Ross Hall came up with the idea 15 years ago while writing his will. “One of the things that came into my mind is I didn’t want to go out in a brown box. So, I thought to myself I’m going to write in my will that I want a red casket with flames on it. A couple of days later I said to my wife, ‘I wonder if anybody else wants something a little bit different rather than a brown mahogany box’, and we sort of looked at each other and thought about it for a while.” They laughed the idea off and moved on. But six months later the idea popped up again and this time Hall decided to do something about it. “I drew up 20 different designs and went to the funeral directors with a little brochure and went ‘hey, how about this you guys?’ and they all thought I was mad.” But the idea slowly caught on and now some weeks they can get up to five orders for custom caskets. Hall said there was a team of 15 that worked on the custom coffins. The caskets take about four hours to print and cover and for more intricate work it can take a couple of days. “We’ve had custom designed handles which are clear acrylic so that we can put those handles on the caskets and it doesn’t cover up the graphics.” Ross delivers his custom-made caskets in style in a 1991 Cadillac hearse that they got shipped from the United States. After the casket is “used” at the funeral it is either cremated UNIQUE FAREWELL: An Auckland company, Dying Art, makes custom caskets that reflect the characters inside. or buried with the person. — RNZ Picture supplied NZTA proposes Concern bubble may lure dropping SH5 orchard workers to Aussie speed limit NAPIER — Driving down State Highway 5 DUNEDIN — The lure of a “I like to think there’s a lot of between Napier and Taupo at 80 kilometres per transtasman bubble and a reinvigorated backpackers in Australia that would be hour? hospitality sector may lead backpackers keen to come here.” That’s the new speed proposed by Waka away from Central Otago orchards and His biggest concern lay with Kotahi NZ Transport Agency as part of a series vineyards, industry leaders warn.

AUCKLAND — A tax expert wants the government to consider allowing some deductibility of interest payments for property investors. The abolition of the tax break, which allowed interest payments to be offset against income, was part of the recent measures aimed at cooling the housing market. KPMG tax partner John Cantin said tax law looked at how the money was being used and in the case of residential investment properties it had a dual-use, both for rental income and to hold the property for capital gain. Industry hopes cruises “The current rules before the change said all of the rental use is what we focus on and therefore the interest is all deductible, but when you look at how will return this year that property is being used quite clearly it’s being held and some time in the future it might be sold,” he said.

FIREFIGHTER KILLED IN BLAZE: A major fire engulfed a business centre in St. Petersburg, Russia’s second- largest city on Monday, killing a firefighter and injuring two others. The blaze spread across all four of the building’s floors and was raging in an area of 10,000 square metres, emergency officials said. Around 300 people were involved in battling the fire, authorities said. One firefighter died and two others were hospitalised with injuries, according to the Russian Emergency Ministry. Forty people have been evacuated from the building, the Interfax news agency reported. It wasn’t immediately clear what caused the fire, and an investigation was launched. The Interfax news agency reported that the building where the business centre was located was erected in the 19th century, and its decrepit state made it harder for the firefighters to tackle the blaze.

The school spent three days last week doing class-based activities on the St John service, with St John staff on hand to answer questions. Adding some reality to the week, students were asked to come to school on Friday dressed as an injured person, hence Felix’s bandaged and bloodied head and knee. Picture by Rebecca Grunwell

CHELSEA manager Thomas Tuchel says his players must not “lose their heads” by allowing their 2-0 first-leg advantage over Porto to lull them into a false sense of security heading into the second leg of their Champions League quarterfinal. Chelsea have one foot in the last four of Europe’s elite club competition courtesy of superb individual goals from Mason Mount and Ben Chilwell, but Tuchel insisted he would not set his side out to simply protect their lead in the “home” leg in Seville. The tie is being staged at Sevilla’s Sanchez Pizjuan stadium tomorrow due to Covid-19 restrictions on travel between Portugal and England. “We don’t approach games like this to talk about the result we have and then change our approach,” Tuchel told a news conference today. “It’s important to be fully focused and play the best game possible. “It’s easier for Porto to adapt because GOALMOUTH ACTION: West Bromwich Albion’s Matt Phillips (second left) scores his side’s second goal during an English Premier they know what they need to do to go League football match against Southampton at The Hawthorns in West Bromwich today.

SURFING by Jack Malcolm FINN Vette has won the under-18 division in tricky Pauanui conditions to finish the SERIES WINNER: Finn Billabong Grom Series in first place. Vette won the Pauanui After finishing second and third in the first event to clinch the grom two events, the Gisborne surfer’s consistency series under-18 division. was rewarded in a nail-biting finale. File picture by PhotoCPL In one- to 1.5-metre waves and onshore wind, Vette and Jack Hinton (Mt Maunganui) were both in contention right to the end. Hinton caught a good wave as the hooter sounded but fell just short of Vette’s score, finishing 0.10 of a point behind. Gisborne’s Asia Braithwaite was unable to find the form in the u16 girls’ division that helped her win the first event of the series. Going into the final contest, she had a slim lead in the standings. But she was knocked out in the semifinals and overtaken by Mt Maunganui’s Anna Brock. Vette and Braithwaite have earned qualification into the New Zealand Grom Series Finals at Piha in May for the top 16 boys and eight girls in the u18 and u16 divisions. Gabe Lobb and Ollie Tong both had a tough day in the u14 boys’ division. Tong was eliminated in his second-round heat, and Lobb was unable to make it through his quarterfinal. The u16 boys’ series winner, Navryn Malone, has Gisborne connections. His father Chris, 1998 open men’s national champion, is from Gisborne. Navryn Malone clinched the grom series victory by winning his division of the Pauanui event.
