Many New Zealand funeral homes offer pre-paid funeral plans, which let you fix today's prices and ease the financial burden on your family. Funds are typically held by an independent funeral trust regulated under New Zealand law. Contact Budget Cremations to confirm whether they offer pre-paid plans and to request a copy of their plan terms.

New Zealand's Funeral Grant from MSD/WINZ can contribute up to approximately NZ$2,559 (current cap; see msd.govt.nz for the latest figure) towards funeral costs for eligible families. Budget Cremations is a licensed funeral home and should be able to provide the invoices and documentation needed for a Funeral Grant application. Eligibility depends on the deceased's circumstances, not the funeral home chosen.
