Talking about funerals isn’t always easy — but making a plan now could be one of the most meaningful gifts you leave behind.

At Dils Funeral Services in Auckland, we understand how overwhelming it can be for loved ones when a death occurs. That’s why we offer funeral pre-planning services designed to ease the emotional and financial burden on your family and give you peace of mind knowing your wishes will be honoured.

Taking Control of the Future

Pre-planning a funeral allows you to make key decisions in your own time and without pressure. From choosing between burial or cremation to selecting music, readings, and who you want involved, it’s your opportunity to reflect your personality, beliefs, and preferences.

This also means your family won’t be left second-guessing what you might have wanted.

A Practical Step Towards Peace of Mind

Our team at Dils makes the pre-planning process simple and respectful. We guide you through each stage and record your preferences in a secure plan that can be updated at any time. You can choose to simply record your wishes, or also arrange pre-payment to help protect against rising costs.

Importantly, this isn’t about being morbid — it’s about being thoughtful and organised. Just as we plan for weddings, holidays or retirement, planning for the inevitable helps ensure the outcome is what you’d want.

The Financial Advantage

Pre-paying a funeral locks in today’s prices and protects your family from unexpected financial strain in the future. Dils works with trusted providers to offer flexible, secure payment options and ensures your money is held safely until it’s needed.

This makes it more than a plan — it’s a practical investment in future care.

We’re Here to Help

Whether you’re ready to start planning or just want more information, our caring team in Auckland is always available for a confidential chat. We believe that every life deserves to be remembered in a way that feels personal and authentic — and pre-planning is the first step.
