Each year on April 25, the Cook Islands join Australia and New Zealand in commemorating ANZAC Day, a solemn occasion to honor those who served and sacrificed in wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations. In Rarotonga, Island Craft Ltd, a renowned local business established in 1943, plays a vital role in helping the community pay their respects through their premium floral services, including the delivery of ANZAC Day wreaths to the Dawn Service at the Cenotaph in Avarua.
Island Craft, located in Avarua, is celebrated for its authentic Pacific-Cook Islands arts and professional floristry. Their ANZAC Day wreaths are crafted with care, featuring a blend of native and imported flowers to create meaningful tributes. These wreaths, often adorned with a purple sash bearing the words “Lest We Forget,” are perfect for laying at the Cenotaph during the Dawn Service, held at 6:00 am on Friday, April 25, 2025.
For those unable to attend the service in person, Island Craft offers a convenient and heartfelt solution: they will deliver your wreath directly to the Dawn Service at the Epitaph or place it on your behalf. This service ensures that everyone, whether local or overseas, can participate in honoring the fallen.
