Let’s talk about death, dying and funeral arrangements

Grinter's Funeral

Hi - I’m Jim from Grinter’s Funeral Home in Cambridge and I’d like to talk to you about the journey of life. There are certain topics that are often overlooked, yet essential to address. One such topic is funeral arrangements. While it may seem uncomfortable or even morbid to consider, pre-planning your funeral is a wise and caring decision that provides numerous benefits for both you and your loved ones.

- Pre-planning your funeral allows you to take control of your final farewell and ensure your wishes are respected.

- It relieves your loved ones of the emotional burden of making funeral decisions during a time of grief.

- Pre-plannning and pre-paying provides financial peace of mind by alleviating the burden of funeral costs on your loved ones.

- Involving your family in the process fosters open communication, deeper understanding, and connection.

- Personalising the ceremony reflects your unique life journey and leaves a lasting legacy.

- It provides peace of mind, emotional support, and the opportunity for an authentic celebration of your life.

Contact the Grinter’s Funeral Home team for assistance in pre-arranging and/or pre-paying your funeral - we’re happy to work with you and your family or download your free copy of our Pre-arrangement form.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
