Burial or cremation?

The team from Auckland Funeral Services Ltd

In 1908 New Zealand's first cremation was carried out in Wellington. Since then we have seen a steady increase in its acceptance. But only over the last 20 years has it become more popular than burial.

Statistics tell us that 9/10 people who die in the next 10 years will opt for cremation.

For many people their choice to be cremated or buried comes down to a financial decision. It's important that your loved ones know what your wishes are.
Both are great options, which would you prefer?

Our job is to provide you with expert guidance, and the information you need to make informed decisions.

It doesn't need to be expensive and there are many ways we can save you money, so you can have the farewell you want; Not just the farewell you can afford.
