When a person passes away, they usually do not have a traditional burial or cremation. What happens to them after that? The body is usually placed in a coffin and buried in a cemetery. Funeral in Auckland companies often provide this service. They also deal with any kind of paperwork. When a family member dies, a funeral director can help them choose a casket.

In New Zealand, if you have lost a family member then you will need to contact a funeral home in order to hire a funeral director. The funeral home will give you some information on how to proceed. If you are planning a funeral in New Zealand, there are some steps that you need to follow in order to prepare your loved one’s remains for burial.

Important information that you need to know about the funeral home in New Zealand

The funeral homes in Auckland will not charge you any money for embalming your loved one, they will give you a free casket along with a free memorial service, but you will pay for the funeral director (if you have not booked with them). The cemetery is private so you can choose where you want to be buried.

Funeral homes are regulated by the government, and there is an association for funeral home owners, called the Association of Funeral Service Providers (AFSP). In a regulated environment like this, they can be trusted. AFSP has a website with all kinds of information that you need to know about the cemetery and overall funeral procedure and the funeral home director.

The website also says how long the funeral is going to take, and the cost of the funeral. You can also request your own pre-prepared obituary and can choose how long you want the viewing to be. There are many different viewing options, the service will be free, and you can be cremated and you will be given an urn with your ashes.

What free services you can get from the funeral homes in New Zealand?

You can be buried and have a headstone free of cost from the funeral in Auckland homes. The funeral director will tell you what to do after the funeral but you will have to pay him or her for all the arrangements of the funeral that he or she will arrange on your behalf.  They use embalming fluids for their cremations, which is not recommended by the EPA because it can cause cancer. You can choose the funeral service yourself (a wake or just a burial).
