We are frequently hearing this in these ‘Post Covid’ times. I have been writing about some of these examples over the last month, and a simple question was asked about the cost. So I created a special price, only with Kapiti Coast Funeral Home, (this is subject to change). When families alter what they want the price adjusts too. The simple answer to their question is if families stick to what is outlined and listed on our website www.kapiticoastfuneralhome.co.nz/cost-estimates/ or below here word for word this is the cost:
Family lead at the Crematorium, at your Home or in one of our Viewing Rooms
This is a cremation where a small group is invited by the family to attend an informal gathering. The gathering generally takes place within 48 hours of the death and is usually held in a venue, such as a family home, funeral home viewing lounge, or Kapiti Crematorium Chapel. The gathering is not led by a celebrant or minister but by family and friends and sometimes the Funeral Director is asked to close with words of committal. This gathering includes booking a venue; funeral documentation; attendance at the viewing; attendance and direction of the gathering. Following the cremation, the death is registered and ashes are available for the family to collect.
