Funeral Costs

Helping Families and Friends honour their loved ones.

Funeral Costs

No two funerals are exactly the same. The way you choose to commemorate your loved one depends on various factors, such as your religion, their interests and even their age. But these differing attributes also mean that funeral costs in New Zealand can vary significantly between services.

Here at Bay Cremation Care, we understand that worrying about costs is the last thing you want to have on your mind while grieving a loved one. That is why we are committed to offering affordable funeral services, including fixed-price farewells, designed to allow you to focus on arranging the perfect final farewell.

Reducing the Costs of a
Funeral Service In Tauranga

We recommend that you start planning your own funeral early. This will allow you to start putting aside money to cover the funeral costs in New Zealand. That way, you can relieve your family’s stresses during a challenging time. You could set up a savings account or join the FDANZ Funeral Trust.

By beginning your planning from an early stage, you will have more time to consider all your options and make smarter financial decisions. For example, you could look for more economical venues, consider more inexpensive service times, select a more affordable casket or urn. 

Here at Bay Cremation Care, we’re dedicated to ensuring that cost is not a prohibitive factor when it comes to holding a suitable memorial service for your loved one. If you would like an estimate for a funeral service or to discuss planning one to fit your budget, please get in touch with our team.

How Much Does A
Funeral Cost?

The team here at Bay Cremation Care is here to help you during this difficult time. There is an extensive range of services our qualified funeral directors offer to help you create the proper send-off for your loved one, including:

Fixed Price Farewells

Our fixed-price farewells allow you to send off your loved one in a meaningful way without having to worry about how much your funeral will cost.

From the moment we contacted Alistair at Bay Cremation Care we felt fully confident we had chosen the perfect person to help us plan the funeral. Alistair was compassionate, caring and knowledgeable and took us through every step of the way. He gave us time to make important decisions and gave us guidance as we needed it. He has our highest recommendation and thanks for making a very difficult situation a little easier.

Alistair was very helpful, respectful and professional, and guided us through everything we needed. He was a great help during a difficult time, and helped ensure a smooth and easy process for us. The venue we were at was lovely, and he was happy to arrange anything extra we needed such as flowers, catering, a celebrant etc, but there was no pressure. Would absolutely recommend Bay Cremation Care.

From the quick and helpful correspondence at just the enquiry stage, to the unexpected urgency in need for their services and all the supportive and informative communication from the beginning to end the experience and care was outstanding. At such a vulnerable and emotional time the care from Alistair and the team at Bay Cremation Care made the experience such a positive and easy one. Thank you.

If you are looking for a caring and compassionate person who is going to look after your loved one with dignity and respect then Alistair is the one. With the death of our mother, Alistair was highly professional knowledgeable, patient and considerate. We felt like we were meeting with a friend who had known our family for years.
When the time comes I can only hope I have somebody like him looking after me my brother has already booked him
Would highly recommend.
