We have a range of services to suit your budget
The cost of a funeral will be influenced by a few factors, the first is whether you would prefer cremation or burial. Whether you’re planning something simple or sizeable, considering the costs involved in a funeral will help to make sure you and your family are prepared when you really need to be.
Cremations
A cremation tends to be quicker, easier to arrange and more cost effective, but it doesn’t limit the way in which you can honour your loved one’s life.
Burials
If you decide to bury your loved one, the timeframe for the funeral service and the type of burial selected dictate what options are available.

Frequently asked questions

There's no set timeline, but funerals in New Zealand usually take place within a week of the death. This can vary depending on factors like family wishes, cultural traditions, and availability at the chosen venue.
The average cost of a funeral in New Zealand could range from NZD $4,000 to $15,000, depending on the choices made around the service, casket, burial or cremation, and other factors. For current prices, it's best to contact a local funeral director or funeral planning service.
It's not legally required to use a funeral director in New Zealand. However, doing so can significantly simplify the process, especially during a time of grief. Funeral directors have the necessary knowledge and experience to handle paperwork, logistics, and other aspects of the process.
If you're struggling with the costs, there are several options available. You might be eligible for a Funeral Grant from Work and Income, or you could consider simpler, less expensive options like direct cremation. We can provide more information on the help available.
Absolutely. In New Zealand, as in many places, it's becoming increasingly common to personalise funeral services to celebrate the unique life of the deceased. This can include specific music, readings, displays of personal items, or even themed funerals. We can help you explore and implement your ideas to create a fitting tribute.
