Cremation
Cremation is the most common choice for Auckland families, and it suits a wide range of budgets and traditions. Whether you want a direct cremation with no service, a small gathering before, or a full funeral service followed by cremation, we'll guide you through your options, what they involve, and what they cost.
-
Burial
For families who prefer a traditional burial, we assist with every step, from selecting a cemetery to coordinating the graveside service and all associated paperwork. We work alongside Auckland Council cemeteries and private burial grounds across the region, and can help you understand plot options, interment fees, and timing.
-
Repatriation
When a person has died overseas, or when a family in Auckland needs to return a loved one to their home country, the process can feel overwhelming. We manage the full repatriation, including liaising with overseas funeral homes, embassies, airlines, and government agencies to ensure the transfer is handled with care and dignity.
Ash interments are also available for families who have chosen cremation but wish to inter the remains at a cemetery or memorial garden. Talk to us about what fits your family's wishes and your budget.

Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly can you arrange a funeral after someone passes away?
We can begin making arrangements with our funeral director in Auckland immediately. Once you call us, we bring the person who has died into our care and start the process straight away.
The timeline for the actual service depends on your family’s wishes, any cultural or religious requirements, and the availability of funeral venues or crematoria. For families who need to act quickly, we can move at whatever pace is best for you.
What areas of Auckland do you serve?
We work with families across the entire Auckland region, from the North Shore and West Auckland through to the Southern, Eastern, and Central suburbs. We also assist families in surrounding areas and can advise on transport and logistics if you’re located a bit further afield. Call us to discuss your situation, and we’ll let you know exactly what we can arrange.
Do you cater for Pasifika and multicultural funeral traditions?
We work alongside family and whānau from Māori, Samoan, Tongan, Fijian, Cook Island, Niuean, and many other cultural backgrounds. We understand that traditions around death, the body, timing, and ceremony vary widely, and we’ll never assume what your family needs—we’ll always ask.
Our team has supported a variety of Auckland funeral services, including tangi, cultural vigils, multi-day services, and everything in between. Whatever matters to your family, we’ll do our best to make it happen.
Can we get financial help to cover funeral costs?
Yes. Work and Income (WINZ) offers a Funeral Grant for families who meet income and asset criteria. If the death was caused by an accident covered by ACC, a separate grant may apply. Both can be paid directly to your funeral director in Auckland.
We’re familiar with both processes and can help you with the paperwork—you don’t need to navigate this alone. Grant amounts are subject to change, so contact WINZ or ACC directly for current figures.
What's the difference between a direct cremation and a full funeral service?
A direct cremation means the person who has died is cremated without a formal service beforehand. It’s the most straightforward and affordable funeral option in Auckland, and many families choose to hold a separate memorial gathering in their own time.
A full funeral service includes a ceremony (at a venue, chapel, or marae) before cremation or burial takes place. We’ll explain what each involves so your family can make a pressure-free decision.
