Cremations

A cremation funeral service may be held at any venue of your choice, Crematorium Chapels, Linwood or Harewood, Church, own residence, Sporting venues, etc.
Cremation means there are options to bury the ashes or to scatter them in favourite place and they can be divided and placed into urns or containers as desired and can be sent overseas if appropriate.

Cremation provides the choice of a 'Memorial Service' (similar to funeral service but with ashes rather than a casket) that can be held at a venue such as a church, at a location when ashes are scattered or at a graveside when ashes are buried (interred). This can also be a consideration where Family live overseas and may not be able to return to NZ immediately Cremation caskets are usually more cost effective.
