Arranging a funeral can be overwhelming, with so many decisions to make at a time when you can feel least equipped to decide on anything. It helps to know how things work so you can make the right choices for yourself and your family when the time comes to farewell a loved one.

We are here to support you 

​When a loved one dies, it can be a very upsetting and emotional time. With all the unfamiliar choices you need to make, it can also be very confusing. We can help guide you through what happens when someone dies. This will let you know what you need to do and how the team at Aoraki Funeral Services can help you

We have put together information that will help guide you during this difficult time. You are welcome to contact us directly 
We understand how stressful this process can be, and we undertake to alleviate as much stress as possible by supporting and guiding you every step of the way. We will meet with you at your home or our premises; the choice is entirely up to you. We’ll discuss the entire funeral process and let you know what to expect. We will help you feel confident and empowered to make the choices that fulfil the deceased person’s wishes. We will work for you and the extended circle of loved ones involved in this funeral process

Getting it right 

We place great importance in getting it right, in providing a funeral service that best meets the religious and cultural beliefs of the deceased person. We have great respect for their wishes, and we do our very best to provide a funeral service that honours them.

​Our professional team at Aoraki Funeral Services will make all of the arrangements for you and your family to ensure that the funeral process goes as smoothly as possible. We’ll keep you updated whilst allowing you time and space to grieve.

​We are all in this together.
