TANGIHANGA

Tangihanga are vital in Maori culture for people to grieve the loss of their loved ones and those who have passed before them. Tangihanga is usually held over a number of days and at a marae.

We, at Brian Darth Funeral Services, are very respectful of Maori culture and do everything we can to accommodate your beliefs. Pamela has completed her Maori Ora studies through Te Wanganga O Aotearoa and has studied customs and beliefs regarding Tangihanga. Pamela and Brian strongly believe that the beliefs, customs and protocols of Maori need to be respected and would find it a privilege to assist you through such a difficult time.

ECO

We are aware that some people are very passionate about the environment and just because your loved one has passed away does not mean you have to forget about their belief in the environment.

At Brian Darth Funeral Services we can offer you alternatives to ensure you or your loved one can have an eco-friendly funeral. We can offer eco embalming, an eco-friendly casket and recycled paper for service sheets. We are happy to accommodate the passion for the environment.

PRE-ARRANGEMENT

Pre-arrangement can be of great benefit to yourself and your family. A pre-arrangement is a time when you can record your preferences for your service, such as, where you would like your service, your preference for who you would like your minister or officiant to be, hymn sheets etc.

During a pre-arrangement, we also go over and record all the details we require to register a death. By already having this information can eliminate some stress from your loved ones at what is already a very difficult time.

DEATH

When someone passes away in New Zealand their death must be registered with Births, Deaths and Marriages in Wellington. We register that person’s death on the day of the memorial service.

To register their death we require certain information from you, the family, in order to do this. The information we require is below.
