Burial

We assist with traditional burials, graveside services and ash interments. Our team helps you select a cemetery, organise plots and customise the ceremony to reflect your loved one’s life and faith.

Burial

Would you like to include viewings?

the level of preparation depends on whether you plan to have viewings, visitation, or public farewell.

No Viewings

Direct Burial - No Embalming

Our direct burial option is the simplest and most affordable option. It involves no embalming, viewing, or formal service — ideal for families wanting a private and dignified farewell. You can still hold a memorial or celebration of life at a later date.

One Private Viewing

Basic Burial - Partial Embalming

Our basic burial option includes partial, non-aesthetic embalming to ensure respectful care and presentation. It’s ideal for families who wish to have a private viewing or small gathering before cremation. This affordable choice provides comfort, dignity, and flexibility.

Open Casket (Multi-Day)

Traditional Burial - Full Embalming

Our traditional burial Service includes full embalming, dressing, and presentation to ensure your loved one is cared for with the highest level of dignity and respect. This option allows for a full open casket viewing, funeral service, and farewell before burial. Families can personalise every detail — from the venue and casket to music and flowers.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What if they have a will?

When a loved one passes away and has left a will, the process of arranging their burial is clear. Although not legally enforceble for the funeral itself, it gives clear guidlines on how the family should proceed. However it is up to the main contact of the funeral or who is managing the funeral bill who decides how we proceed.

Are burial plots forever?


In New Zealand, burial plots are generally not owned forever. When you purchase a plot, you’re buying the right of burial — not the land itself. This right is usually permanent and recorded by the local council or cemetery trust, meaning the person buried there will remain undisturbed. However, the cemetery land remains under council or trust ownership

When do we get the death certificate?

The death is registered on the day of cremation, and the official certificate is issued by Births, Deaths and Marriages. It usually takes about a week to be posted to us. Once we’ve received it and the account has been paid in full, the family can either collect the certificate from our office or have it posted out to their chosen address.
