Death Without Debt - Fergus Wheeler

Death Without debt is a new podcast from the Get Flushed studio.

In 2023, the average cost of a basic funeral or cremation in New Zealand was between $8,000 and $15,000. That same year, 64% of funerals and cremations in New Zealand were not pre-planned. 

Those high costs and lack of planning often leaves bereaved families with a huge bill that compounds the grief of those left behind.

Death Without Debt is a social movement dedicated to: exposing the reasons why funeral costs are so high; and changing the law to make funerals and cremations more affordable for all New Zealanders.

In this episode, host Pete is joined by Fergus Wheeler from the Death Without Debt campaign. Fergus describes the New Zealand funeral industry, shares how organising funerals for his parents led him to believe that something is seriously wrong with the funeral system in New Zealand and explains the issues that prevent families managing the funeral or cremation process themselves.

About the Podcast

Get Flushed
The World's Favourite Sanitation Podcast
Sanitation (the management of human faeces, urine and menstrual blood) might not sound like an appetising topic for a podcast, but the truth is, everybody has to go to the bathroom.

The lack of proper sanitation is recognised as one of the biggest threats facing the world today. The problem is not simply confined to emerging nations or remote communities. It affects us all.

Originally created to help portable restroom operators improve their performance, Get Flushed has become the place for serious conversations about sanitation. In each episode, host Pete explores the mechanics of the global sanitation industry and pushes to improve restroom standards for all.

Get Flushed shares the knowledge, skills and experiences of toilet users, manufacturers, restroom operators, engineers, researchers and sanitation champions to improve the performance of sanitation-based businesses worldwide.
