Funeral Directors Milford Auckland | Nelson & Susan Elliott Funeral Services
Nelson & Susan Elliott Funeral Services has been providing heartfelt, personal funeral care on the North Shore for many years. Based at 157 Shakespeare Road in Milford, we are a small, family-run funeral home dedicated to supporting families through one of life’s most difficult moments with warmth, honesty and complete respect.
We understand that every person’s life is unique and every farewell should reflect that individuality. Whether you prefer a very simple direct cremation, a traditional chapel service, a celebration of life gathering, or a culturally significant farewell, we listen carefully and help you create an occasion that feels right for your family.
Our full-service approach covers everything you need. From the first phone call to the final farewell we take care of all the practical details: collection and care of your loved one, paperwork and official requirements, venue coordination, casket and coffin selection, flowers, music, catering arrangements, keepsake items and memorial stationery. We also provide clear, upfront pricing so there are never any hidden costs or surprises.
We offer a wide range of options to suit different needs and budgets including:
- simple cremations with no service
- full traditional funerals
- memorial services after cremation
- ash scattering arrangements
- memorial jewellery and keepsakes
- eco-friendly and biodegradable choices
- pre-planning and advance funeral arrangements
Many families appreciate the opportunity to plan and pay for a funeral ahead of time. Doing so removes a significant burden from loved ones during an already difficult time and often allows you to lock in today’s prices.
We proudly serve families right across the North Shore and greater Auckland. Our comfortable, private chapel in Milford provides a peaceful setting for services, or we are very happy to arrange services at your chosen venue, church, marae, garden, beach or other meaningful location.
After the funeral we remain available for ongoing support. Through our connection with experienced grief support services we can help point you toward resources that may be helpful in the weeks and months that follow.
With decades of combined experience and a genuine commitment to kindness, Nelson, Susan and the team offer the calm, professional presence that families need at such a sensitive time. We believe in doing things properly, with dignity, transparency and real human care.
If you would like to talk about arrangements for someone you have lost, or you wish to plan ahead, Please Contact us at any time. We are here to help, listen, and support you in whatever way feels right for your family.
