Funeral grants
If you need financial support to pay funeral costs, please ask our team for advice, as we can refer you to agencies that may be able to help.
- WINZ funeral grants depend on your loved one’s assets.
- ACC may be able to help if your loved one’s death was caused by an accident.
- Veterans’ Affairs New Zealand may contribute to funeral costs if your loved one was a veteran qualifying for support.
- The New Zealand Defence Force offers benefits if your loved one died serving in the NZDF.
Paying when your loved one’s estate is in probate
When death occurs, your loved one’s bank accounts will be frozen. In some cases, these cannot be accessed until after Probate is granted.
If settlement of an estate is delayed by lack of Probate, please pay your funeral account by the due date, and recover the funds from the estate when it is settled.
