Please peruse in the meantime our services and their costs:

What can I put in the casket?

Families and friends may place a variety of items into the casket or shroud to be cremated with their loved one. Photos and letters, sports & recreation items such as their favourite tennis racquet, fishing rod or golf club are all common items that are cremated to symbolically represent something about your loved one – perhaps their favourite hobby, or a cherished memory captured in a photo, returned to nature alongside them. Most kinds of personal items are permitted. What shouldn’t go in the casket are potentially explosive items such as aerosol cans or glass bottles.

What goes into the cremator?

Contrary to popular belief, it is not only the body that is cremated. Everything around and within the casket or shroud is cremated, down to the floral wreaths & arrangements that may be resting on top.

Whose ashes do you get back?

A common, harmful myth is that multiple people are cremated at once. This is false. At Lagoon View Funeral Services and elsewhere in the country, strict regulations are in place to ensure that respectful, legal and proper cremation funeral services are followed, so that you may get your loved ones’ ashes back and only theirs.

Cremations can take place before or after the funeral service has been held. If you decide to cremate before the service, ashes can be present there, or alternatively you can have a traditional funeral service with the casket present and a cremation to follow.

Funeral or memorial services can take place at most venues, whether it be a funeral home and/or chapel, a marae, a church, yours or your family’s private residence, a sports club – in short, most indoor or outdoor venues, with no requirement for you to proceed on towards the crematorium if you would rather not to.

If you and your family wish to transport the ashes of your loved one to an overseas location and are wondering about the legality and costs of such an excursion, I am here to allay your fears. Not only is it legal, but when engaging the repatriation services of Lagoon View Funeral Homes, you will be getting the absolute cheapest repatriation available in NZ, with no loss of quality in the customer service that our fantastic and dedicated team deliver to you and your family during these trying times.

Get your loved ones ashes to far flung family and/or friends anywhere in the world for the lowest price with us. Repatriation is a chance to bring family together, and is a cost-effective way to mourn together, discounting the distance that may separate you and letting the memory of the departed truly be commemorated and cherished with the utmost respect by everyone who knew them.
