Pre-Planning

Pre-arranged and Prepaid Funerals

We understand that every funeral is unique and a very personal occasion.

We regard your specific wishes and requirements as paramount. Our role is to provide a personal and memorable service which reflects your wishes, in a totally professional manner.

One way of achieving this is to talk to us before there is a need — pre-arrange your funeral.

You can pre-arrange or pre-pay towards your funeral, or you can choose to do both.

The difference between pre-arrangement and a pre-paid funeral

Pre-arranging

Pre-arranging is a way of ensuring that what you want for a funeral will be respected and carried out in the way you would like. To create the perfect farewell, we need to know your story. We can meet with you and discuss all aspects of the funeral process, tailoring this to fit your individual needs and to provide your family with the opportunity to honour you in your last farewell.

Pre-paying

Pre-paying toward your funeral is the provision of a financial component. Pre-paying means that when the time comes, loved ones can gather together, support one another, and remember and celebrate a life without the responsibility of making difficult choices in very emotional circumstances. It removes stress and financial burden from your family.

Tararua Funerals uses The Funeral Trust through the Funeral Directors Association of NZ. We’re happy to discuss how the trust can be tailored to your and your family's individual needs.
