Burial or Cremation

One of the first things we’ll talk about is whether your loved one wished to be buried or cremated. This helps us take care of the necessary arrangements and paperwork on your behalf.

Burial
If burial is your family’s choice, we’ll help organise everything involved with the cemetery and final resting place. We can guide you through the available options, including existing family plots, new burial plots, headstones, and memorial plaques.

Our team will explain the choices available and help make the process as straightforward as possible.

Cremation
Cremation is now a popular choice for many families. Paterson’s operates its own crematorium and will take care of all the arrangements for you.

Ashes are usually available within a few days, and we’ll help you consider the options that feel right for your family. Ashes can be scattered in a special place, interred in a cemetery or memorial garden, kept in an urn, or shared among family members. We can also assist with transporting ashes elsewhere in New Zealand or overseas.

Whatever you choose, we’ll be here to guide and support you every step of the way.
