Naturally, many people are curious to know how much a funeral will cost. The cost of a funeral varies considerably, dependent upon the style of the service which is chosen. We encourage families to tailor a funeral which is unique and personal, and which is true to the person who has died, reflecting their life, personality, beliefs and culture. Every person is a unique individual and therefore, no two funerals are identical. Contact us now for a Schedule of Fees and Disbursements.
Average Cost:
To give you a broad guide to the possible cost of a funeral, we have found that an "average" burial or cremation service costs approximately between $6,000-$7,000. A burial plot, if required, would be additional.
Financial Assistance:
A number of benefits are available to assist in payment of funeral expenses, including the following:
- Work & Income NZ Funeral Grants
- Returned Services Grants
- Accident Compensation Grants
Further information is available on request, and wherever possible, we will assist you with the completion of the necessary forms.
The Funeral Account:
It is our normal practice to forward the funeral account 7 days following the funeral service. The account is due for payment approximately 30 days after the funeral service. We offer varying payment options including credit card. Please contact us for details.
