Embalming

Embalming gives people time to grieve and say goodbye to their loved ones in a safe way.

Why embalm?

Beyond the obvious advantages of providing families the essential time to prepare for a funeral, embalming is not just a practical choice, but one that prioritises health and safety and the environment.

Firstly, embalming is entirely optional, unless there's a desire to repatriate your loved one to another country. We understand the importance of allowing individuals the time they need to grieve fully and embalming offers a precious opportunity for everyone to say their goodbyes properly and safely. Opting for embalming ensures that your loved one is preserved in a condition that allows for a dignified viewing by friends and family before the funeral or memorial service.

Our dedicated embalmers are skilled professionals and adhere to a Code of Ethics and Practice set by the NZEA (The New Zealand Embalmers Association) and the FDANZ (Funeral Directors Association of New Zealand). Our embalming methods utilise a new generation of chemicals specially crafted to protect our environment. In choosing embalming, you're not just making a practical decision, but also an environmentally conscious one.
