The New Zealand Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) website includes an extensive amount of general information to assist you in dealing with a death.

Maybe you have never attended a funeral before and do not know what to expect? 

Your funeral director will take care of all of the legalities for you - however, this could be interesting reading should you want to understand more.

This is very useful for those who have never had to deal with a death before, particularly if you are an only child with no other siblings for support, or if your family are not living in New Zealand with you. 

Topics include: Bereavement and Grief, Donating Organs, General Information, Investigating the Cause of Death, Probate, Funerals & registration of death, Graves & memorials and Wills.

The information on this website could help you to be more prepared, or if you have already suffered a loss, can help you in your time of need.
