PRE-ARRANGING/PRE-PAYMENT
Pre-arranging
This is a form where you can record all the necessary information for when you pass away e.g. where you would like your service, flowers, newspapers to be contacted etc. The Department of Internal Affairs require your parents full names, your date of marriage, your children’s current ages. Having this all recorded helps make the process easier. After completing the form it is a good idea to keep it in a safe place with your personal documents and be sure to tell at least two others where to locate it. Alternatively, if you prefer, we can store the information for you until it is required. Once again, we suggest you tell someone close that we are holding the information for you.

Pre-payment
You can prepay up to $10,000 into our Funeral Director’s Association of New Zealand (FDANZ) funeral trust. This is the maximum amount and does not mean you have to use all this money for a funeral but it is not asset tested by the Government. Whatever is not used can be added to your partners trust or go back directly into your estate. It is paid out very quickly and efficiently. A booklet explaining how this works is available.
Cloudy Bay Funeral Services is proud to be a member of the FDANZ.
It enables us to be supported with a national association and a network of other NZ Funeral firms that also work towards:
• Raising professional standards
• Adherence to strict codes of ethics and conduct
• Honesty and respect for confidentiality
• Respect for personal choices, spiritual beliefs and ethnic backgrounds.
