Cremation

Cremation

Cremation offers families the same opportunities for a meaningful and personalised farewell as a traditional burial — including viewings, services, eulogies, and gatherings that celebrate the life of your loved one. For many, cremation is a gentle and flexible option that allows for more time and choice in how, when, and where a final tribute is held.

One key decision involves the final resting place for your loved one’s ashes. Some families choose to keep the ashes in a beautifully crafted urn at home, providing a sense of closeness and comfort. Others may wish to scatter the ashes in a meaningful location — a favourite beach, garden, or place of spiritual significance — or inter them in a cemetery or memorial garden where a plaque or headstone can be placed for future visits.

Cremation also allows for the possibility of creating keepsake jewellery, miniature urns, or other mementos so multiple family members can carry a part of their loved one with them in a deeply personal way.

At Morris & Morris, we’re here to guide you through each step — from planning the cremation service to helping you decide on the most meaningful resting place for the ashes. Whatever your wishes, we’ll help you honour your loved one in a way that reflects their life, values, and the love they leave behind. Cemeteries in Whangārei
