Funeral Prepaying and Residential Care Subsidies

The Staff from Avenal Park Funeral Home

We believe making advance payments towards your funeral expenses should be a natural part of retirement planning. There is satisfaction in knowing your affairs are in order and your family will not experience extra stress at a difficult time.

Did you know by joining the FDANZ Funeral Trust, under current Government policy, up to $10,000 may be excluded from asset testing when assessing eligibility for a subsidy for long term residential care?

You can prepay in a single payment or in instalments if that suits you better. There is no set amount because every funeral is different, depending on your personalised preplanned arrangements.

From preplanning and/or prearranging of funerals, to looking after you when your loved one dies, through to designing and organising of memorials, the team at Avenal Park Funeral Home are here for you.

For more information, or to discuss prearranging and preplanning your funeral, contact Nigel, Donna, Chris or Mel at Avenal Park Funeral Home on 03 218 9021 or visit us at 75 Fox Street, Invercargill.

Hi neighbours,

Today, Stuff is launching a campaign to make Matariki a public holiday from 2021.

Plucked from obscurity and given the breath of life, since the turn of the century, Matariki has blossomed into an inclusive, popular event.

Tied to the rising of Matariki, the Pleiades star cluster, in the night sky, the festival marks the start of te Mātahi o te tau, the new year.

Once a casualty of colonisation, Matariki’s comeback has fostered greater use of te reo Māori, and recognition for Māori customary practices.

We believe it is past time to officially acknowledge all Matariki stands for in our national calendar. To learn more about Stuff's campaign, click here

The Team Reporter from Stuff

The Government has thrown $124 million at reducing the country’s growing waste pile, but not everyone agrees that’s enough.
