About 40 people gathered for a blessing and karakia for the Myanmar refugees.
Family, members of Auckland's Myanmar community, local Maori, lifeguards, police and Muriwai locals came to pay their respects.
The blessings took place near the rocks the couple had been fishing from, with conditions still wild and blustery.
