Planning a funeral is never easy — but understanding your choices can help make the process more meaningful and less overwhelming.
At Dils Funeral Services, we believe in offering families choice, flexibility, and support. Whether you’re arranging a funeral for a loved one or pre-planning for yourself, knowing your options can help create a service that truly reflects a life well lived.
Burial or Cremation
One of the first decisions to make is whether to choose burial or cremation. At Dils, we support both options and can walk you through the practical, legal, and emotional considerations of each.
Cremation offers more flexibility for memorials, while burial may suit families with a strong tradition or religious preference. Whatever your choice, we’ll ensure it is carried out with dignity and care.
Traditional, Modern, or Something In Between
Funerals are changing. While traditional chapel services are still popular, many families today are choosing modern, personalised ceremonies — at home, in a favourite garden, or by the sea.
From intimate farewells to larger gatherings with live streaming for overseas friends and family, we can tailor the experience to suit your needs.
Honouring Culture and Beliefs
Auckland is home to a vibrant mix of cultures and faiths. At Dils, we are experienced in arranging services that respect different traditions, whether that’s a Christian ceremony, Māori farewell, or secular memorial.
We can help with language support, cultural protocols, and liaising with spiritual or religious leaders to ensure everything runs smoothly.
The Details That Matter
Choosing music, flowers, video tributes, or even a special procession route — it’s these details that bring a funeral to life. Our team will work closely with you to ensure every aspect reflects the person being remembered.
