September is Wills Month, a timely reminder to write or update your current will.

But what happens when someone dies without a valid will?

We’ve put together a guide explaining what happens to an estate when someone dies intestate in New Zealand, including how the estate is administered and who may be entitled to inherit.

Read our blog to learn more.

Losing a loved one is a difficult experience, and it can become even more challenging if they pass away intestate (without a valid will). In this article, we'll explore the key aspects of intestacy and provide guidance for those facing this situation.

What’s the difference between a coffin and a casket?

A coffin is wider at the shoulders and tapers toward the feet, while a casket is rectangular (and typically features a hinged lid).

The right choice comes down to personal preference, values, and the story you want to tell.

🌱 Planting Update 🌱

Without what nature gives us, what we do wouldn’t be possible.

That is why, through our partnership with Trees That Count, we’re helping nurture new growth, planting 2 trees for every coffin or casket sold.

This means we’re giving back more than we use — depending on the species, two native trees can produce enough timber for 10 – 20 coffins.

Thanks to you, we’ve already planted 26 trees, removing the approximate CO2 of 6 Auckland to Sydney return flights.

Most importantly, we’re helping regenerate habitats across Aotearoa, supporting projects from Gisborne to Taranaki, and Marlborough to Southland, including:

- Ruapaka Wetland Restoration
- Lloyd George Road Planting Project
- Silvan Forest
- River Run
- Pohara Ellis Creek Wetland Creation
- Tasman Environmental Trust (TET): planting in the Nelson-Tasman region
- Patea Coastal Biodiversity Project
- Motueka Catchment Collective
- Te Wai Parera Trust

A small but meaningful way to honour our environment. 🌳
