RNZ reports the men were killed after their car was hit by an unladen logging truck as they left work in a Katikati kiwifruit coolstore.
Staff at Aongatete Coolstores placed flowers at the crash site on Wednesday morning before attending a blessing and cleansing ceremony at the packhouse, the last place where most of them had seen the five victims.
Packhouse manager Clive Exelby said there had been a tremendous outpouring of grief.
