My loved one has passed away, what do I do now?
Please contact us on 06 3682954 or 0800 33 22 73 as soon as possible. We will be able to liaise with the rest home, doctor, hospital, hospice, or police and make arrangements for your loved one to be transferred into our care.
Our funeral directors will discuss the options available when you call us so that you and your whanau can make the best decision at this time. We will then collect information through emails, phone calls or in person to get the basic requirements to register the death.
