Official paperwork requirements are:

• derailing D.I.Y. funerals

• trapping New Zealanders in the funeral industry's business model

• and, in so doing, depriving the industry of the competition needed to curb excessive charges and predatory behaviour.
   

The fix is simple: the Ministry of Health need only issue a directive  requiring  doctors do the paperwork - a task which only takes a couple of minutes.  This would make funerals cheaper for everyone, not just those doing it themselves.   

Enabling D.I.Y. would introduce meaningful competition and lower funeral costs for everybody.
