There are different restrictions and limitations on funerals and tangihanga at different settings within the Traffic Light System. Regardless of traffic light setting, funerals and tangihanga can go ahead, food and drink can be served, and children under 12 can attend.

At all settings, there are two options: to use vaccine passports or to not use vaccine passports. We work with you to decide which option is best for you. Here is what that means at each setting:

Red

When vaccine passports are used:

• There is a limit of up to 100 guests

When vaccine passports are not used

• There is a limit of up to 25 guests

Orange

When vaccine passports are used:

• There is no limit to how many people can attend

When vaccine passports are not used:

• There is a limit of up to 50 guests

Green

When vaccine passports are used:

• There is no limit to how many people can attend

When vaccine passports are not used:

• There is a limit of up to 100 guests

If you have loved ones who are unable to attend the funeral, we are able to livestream the service so that they can attend from wherever they are. We also have capabilities for online tributes so that people are able to leave a message for the family to read.

Whichever option you choose, we are here to guide you through it. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out. We are happy to answer any questions you might have and provide our expert advice.
