One of the most common questions asked when considering a funeral is how much will it cost.
This is always a difficult question to answer for Funeral Directors as costs tend to be influenced by various factors such as inflation, service preferences, and changing trends in the funeral industry.
Funeral costs over the last decade have been gradually increasing.
The main factors are:
Inflation:
Like many goods and services, funeral costs often rise with inflation rates over time and the current cost-of living challenges in New Zealand have affected the Funeral Industry.
Service and Product Changes:
There have been changes in the types of services or products offered by funeral homes. These include more personalised funerals and advances in technology meaning a funeral can be shared throughout the world. These can have an impact on overall costs.
Preference for Alternatives:
Some people are opting for alternative funeral arrangements, such as direct cremation, multi-cultural or natural burials. All have different cost structures.
