Funeral Services/Life Celebrations
Working with both traditionalists and contemporaries, Allie offers a wide variety of personal, bespoke services designed to honour those who have left us, and support those who are left behind. Allie focuses on capturing the essence of the person, their values, their special relationships with friends, family and loved ones, and the achievements they most want to be remembered by.
Memorial Services
With the uncertainty of Covid-19 and the restrictions on the number of people who can attend depending on the current Alert Level, a Memorial Service may be the best way to honour your loved one. The ability to have a very small funeral service followed by a larger memorial service at a later date is becoming more prevalent. There is no time limit on grieving, and the ability to have your friends and loved ones together to support each other is invaluable.
Committal Service
A shorter service that takes place at the graveside after the funeral where we lay your loved one at peace. This is often a private family gathering away from the larger service while refreshments are being served.
Internment or Scattering of Ashes
A separate service that takes place after the cremation - often on a meaningful date or anniversary of passing.
Living Funeral
This is a growing trend that allows people to enjoy and celebrate their life before passing with the most important loved ones in their life. Often a Living Funeral is coupled with a milestone event such as a significant birthday.
Pre-planned Funerals
People experiencing life limiting illnesses sometimes wish to be involved in planning their own funeral. This can be an emotionally healing, even cathartic experience allowing them to reflect and share their life, relationships and achievements in a very personal manner.
Fees and travel
As every situation is unique, pricing is tailored depending on the service. Allie works largely on the North Shore and the Hibiscus Coast in Auckland. Should you require Allie to travel out of Auckland, additional travel costs may be incurred. Contact Allie for pricing information.
