Poll: Would you want an unconventional funeral?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

Funerals can cost as much as $22,000 and the planning can be stressful especially at a time when loved ones are grieving. Some New Zealanders are re-imagining funerals by making their own coffin or having a relaxed ceremony at home. Would you want a less traditional funeral? Share your thoughts below.

Type 'Not For Print' if you wish your comments to be excluded from the Conversations column of your local paper.

Library Closure

Ron from Motueka

I wonder what goes on in the heads of the TDC personal when they spend $5 million on the new Motueka Library and are now talking about closing it on weekends when staff are sick and possibly 1 week day With winter just round the corner days getting colder the library is a meeting place the only place where one can go on a cold day to read borrow books or attend on of the many gatherings that are alway on in the library
Perhaps they should have not built the library as the old building sits empty and given themselves a big bonus for running the TDC as a vibrant council
When will these people pull there head out of the sand and run the council as a successful business as a not as a group of infants
We as those who like to live in this area its time to wake up and get rid of this riffraff and elect people who know how to run local bodies successfully
