It is important that you choose the funeral service that is right for you and your family. Funerals are a special celebration of someone’s life, and can be as personalized and individual as you like.

We can guide you through the choices available, and are able to take care of all, or as many of the details as you would like.

We can liaise with clergy and celebrants, doctors, hospitals, government departments, coroners and other officials, crematoriums and cemetery authorities on your behalf.

MAKING THE RIGHT CHOICES

Dargaville Funeral Services can explain the many choices available:

  • The different types of ceremony, religious or otherwise.
  • The best location for the service – a church or chapel, at home, at the graveside or crematorium.
  • Who should officiate – a priest, minister, celebrant or family members.
  • Whether you want to view the deceased, and where the viewing should be.
  • Whether you want to have a burial or cremation.
  • Whether you want flowers or charitable donations.
  • Whether you want to place a funeral notice.
  • Casket selection.
  • The order of service, the choice of music and hymns.
  • Venue for a post-funeral gathering and how to arrange it.

TAKING CARE OF THE DETAILS

Once the choices are made, it is your decision as to how involved we are with the arrangements. We can take care of the following details:

  • The registration of death and necessary documentation.
  • Contacting appropriate burial or cremation authorities, as well as contacting the doctor, coroner or hospital and collection of certificates.
  • Liaising with clergy or funeral celebrants, assisting with the service and organising funeral details.
  • The provision and preparation of the casket.
