Prepayment options towards your funeral

Paying for your funeral in advance can help spare your family worry about arrangements and costs. It also helps protect your pension. Prepaid funerals up to $10,000 are excluded from asset testing when assessing your eligibility for subsidies for residential care.

To make a prepayment, make an appointment with us to discuss your funeral. We’ll help you record your wishes, and estimate the cost of your funeral, so you can decide how much to pre-pay. *Please note that funeral estimates are not fixed and are subject to inflation.

Your prepayment will be held safe for you in The Funeral Trust administered by The Funeral Directors Association of New Zealand. The Funeral Trust is not an insurance policy, so you won’t need to answer personal questions or take any health checks.

You can change your funeral arrangements with us at any time. And if you decide to be buried in another town, we’ll arrange for your instructions and pre-payment to be transferred.

If you would like to know more about these options, please contact us.

It's been 9 months but I'd like to thank you so much, for the time and care that you showed our baby Harper. Words can't quite express... but you are much appreciated 🌺🌺

We appointed Pellows and Beth Richards to handle our mums funeral and that decision ensured that we as a family were able to manage so much better through this difficult time.
Everything was coordinated perfectly, nothing was too much trouble but probably what stands out in particular was the way the Pellows team were able to smooth the way by dealing with all the little issues that we had not expected and would have struggled with.
Professional, thoughtful and caring is how I can describe their service delivery. I recommend Pellows and Beth without hesitation. Thank you Team.

The team at Pellows, particularly Alvin, showed us kindness and care, and supported us through the difficult moment of dealing with the passing of our dear Mum.
