Dalu Mncube was remembered as "a very dear and loved" keeper by staff, close friends and family at Whangarei's Zion Wildlife Gardens when it temporarily reopened for a memorial service.
Everyone who attended the service was asked to bring a single flower from their garden as a tribute to Mr Mncube.
The 26-year-old was mauled to death by a white tiger while cleaning its enclosure last week. The tiger was later shot dead.
