Most people don’t like thinking about their funeral, but spending an hour planning it now can make things much easier for your family later.

Now For Them is a funeral prepayment plan run by The Funeral Trust Services Limited, a charitable company linked to The Charitable Funeral Trust and the Funeral Directors Association of New Zealand. When you join, an account is set up in your name and you pay into it to help cover your future funeral costs. It’s not a savings or investment product, so you won’t earn interest or returns on the money you contribute.

If you would like more information, feel free to get in touch with us or view the brochure in the comments.

We had the pleasure of hosting members from the Rotary Club of Tawa for an evening of shared information, good conversation, and light hospitality. Over tasty snacks and meaningful discussion, it was a joy to connect, learn, and enjoy each other’s company. Thank you to everyone who joined us. We truly enjoyed having you with us.
