The Essentials

$3,750

The Essentials package includes a dignified transfer of your loved one into our care, professional and caring preparation and cremation.

We will transfer your loved one into our care and provide fundamental hygienic services.

One of our funeral directors will visit you at your home or you are welcome to visit us at one of our chapels to finalise arrangements which will include the preparation and lodgement of all necessary documentation including the Death Certificate.

There is no opportunity to view your loved one with this option.  If, however, you would like to spend more time with your loved one after we have brought them into our care, the Family & Friends package would be a better option.

We will take care of the cremation and all required fees.  The ashes will be available to you within three working days following the cremation.

Due to the unique options and pricing, full payment is required before the funeral service or the day of cremation.

This service includes 24-hour advice and support.

Frequently Asked Questions

When will I see my loved one again?

With The Essentials option, there is no opportunity to view your loved one.  If however, you wish to include a viewing the Family & Friends option may be more suited to you.

When will I receive the death certificate?

The death certificate is registered online on the day following the cremation and lodged with Births, Deaths and Marriages.  It then takes 5-10 working days to be prepared and is posted direct to the Next of Kin as stated on the arrangement form.

Can we have catering?

With the Essentials option, catering is not included.  However, if you would like to have catering, A Gathering option may be more suited to you.

When will we receive the ashes?

One of our funeral directors will contact you once the ashes are ready to be collected.  The ashes may be available two days following the cremation.

What happens to artificial joints?

All artificial joints are recycled and the proceeds are donated to The Canterbury Charitable Hospital, Burnside.

What happens with the glasses?

As glass is unable to be cremated, all glasses are donated to the Fred Hollows Foundation.

Do the flowers get cremated as well?

The flowers get cremated along with the casket, however if you wish to keep the flowers, your funeral director will make sure these are given to you prior.

What are your payment terms and options for payments?

Due to the unique options and pricing, we do not run credit accounts. Full payment is to be made on or before the funeral service or the day of cremation.
