Why Should I Pre-Plan a Funeral?

The Benefits of Making Pre-Arrangements

There are many benefits to pre-planning and pre-paying for a funeral service:

  • The peace of mind in knowing that the arrangements have been thoughtfully made, and the details have been taken care of.
  • The comfort in knowing that your loved ones will be able to mourn their loss without additional emotional and financial stress.
  • The ability to plan your funeral service the way that you would want it. If you have any special requests, pre-planning allows you to make your wishes known, nothing is too much to ask for.
  • The expert advice and support from our dedicated team. During the pre-planning process, we are here to answer any questions that you might have.

If you have any queries or want to know if pre-planning is right for you or your loved one, please don’t hesitate to get in touch with us. We can talk through your options and offer our knowledgeable recommendations based on your personal situation.

How Do I Pre-Plan?

Guiding You Through The Necessary Steps

With Osbornes Funeral Directors, pre-planning funeral arrangements is made simple.

After getting in touch with us, we will arrange a time to meet with you to discuss your ideas and options and offer our recommendations if needed. This can take place at our premises or your home – whichever makes you feel the most comfortable and at ease. If you prefer not to meet, we can send you a free pre-planning form to fill out in private.

We work with you to record your personal wishes and ensure that they are carried out, as well as helping to organise all of the important details, such as purchasing a burial or cremation plot.

Contact us or download the pre-planning guide for more essential information.

Pre-Paid Funeral Plans

Ease The Financial Burden For Your Loved Ones

Pre-paying for a funeral service alleviates financial stress on your loved ones at their time of grieving.

We organise funeral pre-payment through the FDANZ Funeral Trust, created and facilitated by the reputable Funeral Directors Association of New Zealand (FDANZ). As registered members of the FDANZ, we are able to help you pre-pay for any funeral arrangements. Your pre-payment will be held in the third-party FDANZ Funeral Trust until the funeral is required to ensure your money is secure.

If you have any queries about the funeral pre-payment options, please get in touch with us. We are happy to discuss your options.

What families have to say about working with Osbornes

Following some close family losses we have engaged the Osbornes Funeral Home team in Rotorua for their help in creating a fitting farewell. The team were friendly, engaging, and really took their time to find out what we needed so they could adapt their service to suit. I have used them on three separate occasions, for three very different services, and they went above and beyond every time. They make a difficult time that much easier, highly recommended.
