Funeral Options
The details that bring funeral plans together
Selecting the funeral options that pay tribute to your loved one
Choosing a final resting place
How you lay your loved one to rest is a personal decision, shaped by their own wishes, your family's traditions, or simply what feels right in your heart. Whatever your choice, we’re happy to take care of the arrangements for you.
Burial
A burial creates a sacred space where you can always feel close to your loved one. Whether you choose a peaceful cemetery, a family plot, or another meaningful location, it gives you a permanent place for remembrance and reflection.
Cremation
Cremation offers unique and personal ways to honour your loved one's memory. You might choose to keep their ashes in a beautiful urn at home, scatter them in a place they cherished, or have them turned into a keepsake or piece of jewellery you can hold close.
Additional funeral considerations
Here are a few other important details that can shape the funeral:
Embalming
Embalming is a specialised process that preserves and sanitises the body after death, helping to restore the natural appearance of your loved one. For many families this can bring great comfort during a difficult time. It allows for respectful viewings and provides valuable time for family and friends to make arrangements, travel, or come to terms with their loss and say their goodbyes without added stress. Embalming is especially important and often essential if your loved one needs to be transported between cities or countries.
Our team of professionals are committed to providing the highest standard of care and are recognised by the Funeral Directors Association of New Zealand and the New Zealand Embalmers Association. You can trust that your loved one will be cared for with the utmost respect, dignity, and compassion throughout the process.
Writing a eulogy
A eulogy is your chance to speak from the heart and share what made the person you lost so special – the laughs you shared, the kindness they showed, and the moments you'll never forget.
The funeral venue
Our Christchurch funeral home is a peaceful funeral setting with a contemporary chapel, landscaped gardens, and modern comforts for guests.
But we understand that for you, the right place to say goodbye might be somewhere else entirely. Maybe it’s your local church or a place that was special to the person you lost? Whatever location feels right to you, we'll handle all the details to make it happen.
