Hope and Sons Funeral Directors have installed No BuTTs award-winning Eco-Pole Wall & Post-mounted Ashtrays at their locations in Dunedin and Palmerston, New Zealand.

Hope and Sons were established in 1887 and are one of New Zealand's leading Funeral Directors serving Dunedin, the Otago and Southland regions.

"We strive to provide beautiful venues for our funeral services." said Jannette Hope of Hope and Sons Funeral Directors.

"Funerals are extremely emotional events so those that smoke are going to feel the need to light up - and we looked for a solution that allows smokers to safely and easily dispose of their cigarettes whilst also protecting our locations and the environment from unsightly cigarette butt litter."

"No BuTTs Eco-Pole Ashtrays have been instrumental in eliminating butt litter at our locations and we know that smokers are happy to do the right thing with their butts when they can."

"And we know what's most likely going to happen when they can't." said No BuTTs Managing Director Jack Jacobson. "But cigarette butt litter does not have to be inevitable and can be easily eliminated."

"Hope and Sons exemplify a growing number of funeral directors and funeral parlours that are assisting smokers attending their facilities to do the right thing with their cigarette butts.  That's good for all and great for our environment."

No BuTTs range of Eco-Pole Ashtrays assist smokers to safely and easily dispose of their cigarette butts and provide maintenance staff with unsurpassed ease of emptying in a process that only takes a few seconds.

No BuTTs Eco-Pole Portable Freestanding Bollard Ashtrays also allow cigarette butt litter reduction at events in parks, on beaches etc.

Hope and Sons have installed No BuTTs Eco-Pole Ashtrays in designated smoking zones at their locations.

Hope & Sons recognise the importance of our ecology and environment.

"We also recognise the incredible task that has been undertaken by the Orokonui Ecosanctuary." said Jannette.

The primary purpose of the Ecosanctuary project is the restoration of coastal forest and the protection of native flora and fauna. The 307 hectare Eco-sanctuary includes 230 hectares of conservation land that has been given the highest category of protection, that of a nature reserve.

Over 100 Australian and New Zealand Funeral Parlours are now using No BuTTs range of Eco-Pole Ashtrays to eliminate cigarette butt litter at their venues and services.
