Paperwork

Easiest Funeral Arrangements

One of the advantages with Simple Direct Funerals…
the paperwork is very easy to complete. 

Why do we have less admin?
We don’t have pages and pages of questions for family to struggle through.  In fact, we just have two pages which we go through with you.  This usually only a few minutes to complete.

Application for the Cremation
This is what the family completes with simply applies for a cremation.  It needs to be signed by a family member, the next of kin or executor. I have these forms and go through them with you.

Death Certificate
The information needed to complete the  for Births Deaths and Marriages.   Again we go through this with the family and will process it so the Death Certificate is sent to the family afterwards.

Some of the questions for the Death Certificate that can prove difficult are:

  • Place of Birth
  • Their parents name including middle names and the mother’s maiden name
  • Their age if/when they got married(s)
  • Place (city / town) where married(s)
  • If born overseas how long have they lived in NZ
  • Spouse’s full name (maiden name also) and age
  • Ages of children

 

Funeral Records

Here is a page that you can use to help with all this information and more.  

The other paperwork needed for a cremation is the Medical Certificate, which a doctor fills out. 

In short, there really isn’t anything to worry about with the paperwork because we take care of everything.
