Funeral Grants
If you have any financial concerns, please let us know as soon as possible. There are agencies we can help you approach for funeral grants, for example WINZ and ACC both offer grants, depending on the circumstances. There are also grants available for veterans.
How to pay if the estate is still tied up
When a death occurs, bank accounts in the sole name of the deceased are frozen, and in some cases, can’t be accessed until after probate is granted. If possible, set up bank accounts to be in joint names prior to the death.
When the settlement of an estate is delayed by lack of probate, families should pay the funeral account by the due date and recover the funds from the estate when it is settled. We will send our invoice directly to the family and, if required, will also send a copy to the solicitor.
The person making the arrangements with Forrest Funeral Services remains responsible for paying our account.
