 ▻  Death Registration

After your loved one has been buried or cremated, we will apply for a Death Certificate. It can take up to 10 days to arrive. We will then pass the certificate on to the solicitor or to the person who made the arrangements. Once the certificate is received, extra copies can be ordered directly  here

Death Registration

In New Zealand, it is a legal requirement that all deaths must be registered with the Department of Internal Affairs, Births, Deaths and Marriages Division.

​You may choose to complete in advance some of the family details which are required for the Death Registration. Taking care of this important task, prior to a death, will save family the anguish of having to do it while grieving.

Please print the form, fill it out as comprehensively as you can, then send it to us by email, regular post, or drop it off at our premises.

We maintain your privacy

There is a lot of information required by the government; some of it is quite private. Rest assured that we treat your personal information with the utmost care. Maintaining your privacy in all of our dealings is a top priority.
​
Taking care of this important task before you die will save your loved ones the anguish of having to do it later.
​
​They may not know all of the required information or may have to go to great lengths to find it out, especially if you’ve had a previous marriage or had children from an earlier partner.

Our Funeral directors are always available to assist you and to answer any questions. 
​You are welcome to contact us anytime and we will get back to you as soon as possible.​
