Nā mātou te hōnore i whakamanuwhiri ki ngā taonga ō Tauranga Moana

Te whenua i ngarue ai e te tōtara o wao tapu
i kūmea ai ki wī, i ūea ai ki wā, I tōu māhuritanga, i tōu kōhuretanga e tōku rākau
Ko te rākau i hinga mai nei, i hinga atu rā
Haere rā e Koro e i te ao tūroa
ki te kūwatawata o ngā mate e aue e hika e..
Nikā rā ngā whakaritenga ka takoto te koroua nei a Morehu Ngatoko Rahipere o Ngāti Ranginui ki runga o Wairoa ao noa pō mai, ā,
ka hoki mai ki Huria takoto ai mō ngā tae noa rā ki te rā nehu.

The land trembles upon the felling of a great chief pulled to and fro from within his stature
Our pillar that has fallen this day.
Farewell Koro from this world return to the spirits that will guide to your resting place
Rest with those who await Dr Morehu Ngatoko Rahipere, Ngāti Ranginui – rest my once aloft pillar

The arrangements are as follows;
Morehu will lay in state at Wairoa Marae, Tauranga at 3pm on Tuesday 20th February. At 8am on Wednesday 21st our Koroua will be taken to Huria Marae, Tauranga where he will spend the duration of his Tangihanga. The funeral service will be on Friday the 23rd of February at 7.30am following that our Koroua will be taken to his final resting place at Motuōpae.

Nā te whānau Tokona, Ngatoko Rahipere.
Ngāi Tamarawaho, Ngāti Rangi, Ngāti Kahu

He pata ua no te Rangi ka Hiiritia ki te Whenua, He auahi no te Whenua ka hiiritia ki te Rangi.
