For those of you who knew Des, he was a wonderfully generous and kind man, but unfortunately spent all of his money on enjoying his life and didn’t have any savings or life insurance.

This page has been set up to assist with the cost of Des's Funeral costs as they are a lot more than we all expected.

The family would love a small donation of any kind and all proceeds will go directly to the Forrest Funeral Home in Orewa.

On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
