North Shore Funerals – Nelson & Susan Elliot Funeral Services in Auckland
We pride ourselves in being able to offer time and personal touches, serving every family with care, compassion and concern.
Auckland Funeral Services
Most people never think about organising a funeral. Then suddenly, they have to. The questions tend to come all at once. What needs to happen first? Who do you call? What can wait?
At Nelson & Susan Elliot Funeral Services, we keep things straightforward. We help families organise Auckland funerals without adding pressure or unnecessary steps. Most families just want to know what’s happening as things move along, without feeling rushed. We keep you informed, and we explain anything that isn’t clear.
Although based on the North Shore, we cover central Auckland and the surrounding areas.

A Different Approach to Auckland Funeral Homes
There’s a clear difference between Auckland funeral homes. Most are now corporate owned, focusing heavily on packages. At Nelson & Susan Elliot Funeral Services we have a personal approach. You will be dealing with a husband and wife team. The same person will work with you from the first phone call through to the service itself. We’re also available if questions come up along the way.
What Our Auckland Funeral Directors Actually Do
Most people think a funeral director simply organises the service. The role usually ends up being much wider than that.
As Auckland funeral directors, we handle:
- Bringing your loved one into care, day or night
- Handling the legal paperwork and registrations
- Working with crematorium staff and local cemeteries
- Organising the venue,catering, flowers, celebrant, service cards.
- Making sure everything is covered.
Not Every Funeral Needs to Look the Same
There is a quiet shift happening across Auckland funerals. Families are being given more choices in the type of farewell they want for their loved one. It might be:
- Traditional service in chapel or church
- Celebration in a venue of your choice. e.g. Boat club, bowling club
- Cremation with a gathering afterwards
- Private farewell with close family only
- Direct cremation with no service
What matters is that it feels right. For the deceased, and for the family.

Testimonials
”Thank you so much to Sue and Nelson for taking care of our Dad after his passing. You took care of all the arrangements with such genuine care and compassion, making the burden of such a difficult time a little easier to bear. We adored our Dad and you ensured we were able to farewell him in such a special way. A heartfelt thank you from all of our family.
”I just wanted to give a heartfelt testimonial should you wish to wish it on your website. again thank you so much. Nelson and Susan Eliott Funeral Services gave our precious girl Chloe the most heartfelt and compassionate care. They truly listened to our wishes for our child's service and went above and beyond our expectations at a difficult time. The Elliots are very caring people and I cannot recommend them enough.
”Thank you seems so little to encompass all of our gratitude for everything you did to help ease our pain and sense of deep loss when dad passed away. You were both truly our angels at a time when we really needed the arms of angels...
