Planning a funeral in advance is a decision many people consider as part of caring for their family. In Whangārei and Kaipara, pre-planning allows individuals to record their wishes and ease the burden on loved ones later.

Morris & Morris Funeral Directors support families who wish to plan ahead, offering clear guidance and flexibility.

Why people choose to plan ahead

Pre-planning a funeral allows individuals to make decisions calmly and thoughtfully. It reduces uncertainty for family members and ensures personal wishes are understood.

For many, planning ahead provides peace of mind and opens important family conversations.

What can be planned

Pre-planning may include preferences for burial or cremation, the type of service, music, readings and cultural elements. Plans can be updated as circumstances change.

Morris & Morris help families document these wishes clearly and securely.

Pre-planning does not lock families into rigid arrangements. Plans can be adjusted over time, and families remain involved when the time comes.
