Whanau pani
The role of the whanau pani is to mourn.
Pare kawakawa
The pare kawakawa worn around the head as a wreath during the tangi has become a symbol of the tangi for many people.
The hakari
The hakari (feast) is an important part of all Maori death customs. The whanau pani are symbolically welcomed back amongst the living. Its pretty much a big kai
Some Tangi's also include a karakia
