We have qualified embalmers on our team who work to their own incredibly high standards. Their reputation is known throughout NZ, and they have been called to other regions to assist with more complicated cases. Your loved ones are safe in our hands.

What is Embalming?

Embalming can ensure a safe and positive experience when viewing a loved one. There are three reasons why we embalm.

• Sanitisation  - of the body to render any micro-organisms harmless.
• Preservation - to delay the natural decomposition of a human body which starts to take place very soon after death.
• Presentation - to help bereaved family and friends come to terms with the death when viewing their loved one.

Qualified Embalmers

Our trained embalmers can present your loved one looking natural and peaceful. This ensures that your time together is as positive an experience as it can be.
Our funeral directors are happy to discuss your options more fully with you.

Embalming is not a legal requirement in New Zealand. It is entirely optional. The process is carried out in a caring and dignified manner by qualified embalmers or supervised by a member of NZEA, New Zealand Embalmers Association. Our embalmers strictly adhere to the NZEA Code of Ethics.
