What kind of casket can I use for a natural burial?
Caskets that can be buried in a certified natural burial cemetery have strict compliance conditions.

🌿 Made from sustainably grown and harvested woods
🌿 No chemicals or artificial compounds used
🌿 Casket handles will be made of natural materials
🌿 Casket linings are to be of a bio-degradable material

If you have made your own casket we would need to get approval for its use.

With a natural burial, a wooden post is sunk into the ground at the head or foot of the plot. You or your family can include on the post cap and sides, a poker-burnt engraved inscription of your choice. The marker is designed not to be permanent, but the plot and details of the person buried there is marked and drawn on a map held by the Council. www.ecofunerals.co.nz 🌿
