Welcome to Everything Funeral – an independent service empowering you to understand what funeral options are available and affordable, without losing the personalisation, celebration and remembrance to still make it a meaningful farewell of a loved one.
Furthermore, saving thousands on costs at such a poignant time.
COVID-19 ignited a change in the funeral industry landscape. Traditions were disrupted. Ways of doing celebrations of life modified. A period that has provided opportunity to perhaps do things a little more different, post-COVID. Furthermore, make it more affordable.
Brent Ruru established Everything Funeral after seven years in the funeral industry, having worked as both an independent Funeral Celebrant that transitioned into a full-time Funeral Director role with InvoCare New Zealand. Brent returned back to the Celebrant role during 2024 to work on launching Everything Funeral.
Advocacy • Group Presentations • Celebrant • Grief Tools
As an independent Advocate, Brent facilitates group presentations on funeral options and affordability, offering advice and guidance to help pre-plan and record your choices for a meaningful final farewell.
Additionally, support families to help navigate personalised do-it-yourself memorial or celebration of life services of their choice, adding value through assisting with the coordination and officiating of ceremonies.
And lastly, yet just as significant, bereavement is the experience of losing someone important to us. It’s characterised by grief which is the process and the range of emotions we go through when we experience a loss. Brent can provide some practical self-care tips to enable individuals journeying through the grief space.
