Price Increase – Important message
Twentymans is very conscious of the socio-economic status of the area with more people residing here over the age of 65 than any other region in New Zealand.
Recent and on-going price increases have prompted Twentymans to review their current costings, in some cases the first increases since 2013 [mileage costs] or 2019 [cremation costs]. Unfortunately, we have to increase our charges to cover costs associated with Covid-19, rising inflation, fuel cost, vehicle costs, increased rates, insurance, and wages.
Weekends, public holidays are most problematical areas and our new charges reflect on a user pays basis to cover after hours call outs and weekends/public holidays.
Please if you have any questions/comments do not hesitate to speak to our knowledgeable staff who will endeavour to explain the costings to you.
As always Twentymans, as they have for over 150 years, will attend to your family needs day or night, rain, hail or shine with the best possible service delivery we are able to provide under the prevailing conditions.
