Welcome To The New NZEA Webpage

The New Zealand Embalmers Association is group of like-minded, professional, qualified embalmers dedicated to the maintenance of the highest standards of professional conduct and ability.

 

Welcome to the New Zealand Embalmers Association Website

Membership to NZEA is open to individuals who hold a recognised qualification in Embalming practices, and applications for membership is available by using the email attached to this site. Each individual membership application is accessed and approved by the current executive of NZEA, and put before a full membership vote and a general meeting.

The association usually meets twice a year, with the half-yearly meeting and seminar held in May of each year at venues that alternate between centres in the North and South Islands.  The End of Year Meeting, Annual General Meeting, Seminar, and Graduation Ceremony is held each November in Wellington.

NZEA's role in the New Zealand Funeral Profession NZEA is committed to providing the most up to date technology the world has to offer in mortuary services, so that members can take these skills back to their provinces and offer them to the bereaved families they serve.   The Association is continuing to pressure Government for the recognition that the profession of embalming should be practiced only, by suitably qualified persons. The completion of a joint Industry code of practice between the New Zealand Embalmers Association and the Funeral Directors Association of New Zealand, is a documentation of the high standards that the public of New Zealand must expect, when engaging the services of one of its members.

 Conception And Creation

A Brief History Of The NZEA Web-Page

Articles By Kelly Judkins, Cameron Moray-Smith, Edward Brackenbury-Gray

 

From Neanderthal to modern day man.  From the nasty plaid pants your mother dressed you in when it was the 1970’s.  From dial up to broad band.  This is evolution and I am pleased to see that our web site is no different.

They are the people that you'll meet one day - but you won't remember them. Undertakers are a very special breed, and as 20/20's Hugh Hughes quickly discovers, what happens after you've died is, well, fascinating. You'll meet the man who, after 30 years working behind the crypt doors, can tell where you're most likely to pass on, and the young women who say they always knew they would end up in the industry. You'll find out everything you've ever wanted to know about your final journey.

Changing funeral culture in Nz    
An article by Mike Wolffram

 

Embalming and the Changing funeral culture in NZ      

Embalming has become an almost universal practice in the New Zealand Funeral Service Industry. The development of a distinct New Zealand funeral culture during the past thirty-five years has evolved together with an acceptance of professional embalming as a necessary element of after death preparations.
Modern embalming seeks three distinct yet linked outcomes:
·    To restore the deceased to an acceptable physical appearance.
·    To disinfect the deceased.
·    To preserve the deceased from for the duration of the pre-disposal period.

Veterinary Surgical Simulator

 

This prototype surgical simulator was developed in response to a veterinary friend describing just how little surgical experience is available to veterinary students.

 

Intended primarily as a procedural familiarisation tool, the simulator was designed to be accessible by any student using comparatively low-end technology (their standard PC, plus a second mouse for ambidexterity).

 

A high-end version, incorporating multi-player (surgical team) function

incorporating multi-player (surgical team) functionality, haptic interface and 3D projection systems is in development for use in tertiary institutions.

The company involved with this technology are very interested  to introduce the application of such technology in the area of mortician training.

 

Web-page Admin is in the process of setting up an interview, with the company involved to conduct an interview for a more indepth article.
