We Budget for Weddings and Babies — So Why Not Funerals?

Published on Wed May 28 2025 in Lifestyle

We meticulously plan for life's joyful milestones—weddings, the arrival of a new baby, or even the holiday season. Yet, when it comes to the inevitable end-of-life event, many of us shy away from preparation. While it's natural to avoid contemplating our mortality, considering the financial implications of a funeral is a practical step toward protecting our loved ones.

The Financial Reality of Funerals in New Zealand

Funerals in New Zealand can be unexpectedly costly, depending on various factors such as burial or cremation choices, service fees, and additional expenses like flowers and catering.

Funeral insurance provides a lump-sum payment to your family upon your passing, helping to cover funeral expenses and alleviate financial stress during a difficult time.
