Funeral FAQs
List of Services
-
How much does a funeral cost?
There is no easy answer as the price varies depending on the type of service you require. We welcome enquiries about what we can provide for different budgets and often surprise people with our answer (in a good way).
-
Does everyone need to be embalmed?
The answer is it depends. The circumstances around every death are slightly different. Sometimes it is essential and other times a simpler option will work well. What our mortuary team will do is to assess and advise. We are experts in eco mortuary care and are happy to talk you through the options.
-
Are you part of a bigger funeral company or organisation?
No. We are local. Dunedin is our home. This is our company and we are a family. We are, however, part of the Funeral Directors Association of New Zealand (FDANZ) and New Zealand Independent Funeral Homes (NZIFH) which are industry bodies.

What does a registered funeral director mean?
We are members of the FDANZ which means we have registered premises, trained and qualified funeral directors and embalmers, and ongoing professional development for our team in order for them to maintain their practicing certificates.
