A few points - the funeral expenses regs:
do not cover transport costs outside the UK (Reg9(3)(d));
only covers "a burial or a cremation" (Reg 3(1)) and expressly does not cover the burial of ashes after a cremation (Reg 9(5)); and
because the cremation is the funeral for the purposes of the regualtions, and it was in New Zealand, it's excluded because the funeral must be within the EU.(Reg (7(9) So not a lot of hope there, then.
