Funeral Services From Dil's Funeral Services

Funerals are not ‘one size fits all’, so the services they offer at Dil’s Funeral Services are tailored to the individual requirements of the families they care for. What they do for you will depend on your personal needs and wishes, and are worked through carefully in every situation. They offer a range of services that ensure you have choices and can make decisions based on what matters to you.

At Dil’s they believe that the funeral service is a critically important event following any death. It is a time to gather together, to remember and celebrate. However, what this event actually looks like will vary greatly from person to person. From a small and intimate farewell, to a large and highly personalised celebration, the personnel at Dil’s believe they have the expertise and experience to deliver any type of funeral service someone might be looking for.

When planning a funeral there are no real rules to follow and only a few legal requirements, so the possibilities are endless: you are limited only by time and imagination. Some essential components of a funeral include; where the funeral is to be held, whether there will be a burial or cremation, who will lead the service, the choice of a casket and requirements for registration of the death. Once decided on, these things provide the framework around which the rest of the service can be planned.

There are also many personal choices, which can be selected to further enhance the experience. These include: notices in the newspaper, viewing options, flowers, music, service sheets, audio visual presentations, whether there will be refreshments after the service, and the like. Once the funeral has taken place there are additional things you may consider such as bereavement cards, the placement of ashes and a memorial. These can be viewed on the Dil’s Funeral Services website at http://www.dils.co.nz under Funeral Service Options.

Every funeral is different. Some families are more than happy to leave all the arrangements to Dil’s, others only want them to be there in a supportive role. Whatever you want is absolutely fine with the people at Dil’s. On first meeting, Dil’s will outline everything that they can provide or organise for you. Then you can simply pick and choose. If you just want to use their chapel facilities and catering for a memorial service, want them to look after the paperwork and provide a direct cremation, select a casket and have them prepare the body for a tangi, bring someone home who has died overseas, or send the deceased back to their home country, that’s no problem at all. Dil’s are there for you and nothing’s too much trouble.
