Natural Burials is a not for profit organisation based in New Zealand.

We created and run the Wellington Natural Burial Cemetery in partnership with the Wellington City Council, and are working on the creation of natural cemeteries across the country (list of all NZ natural cemeteries here).

We promote and oversee our cemeteries, certify and monitor all cemeteries for their environmental conditions, advise people how to "green" their burial and funeral, and sell our own brand of natural caskets.

  • Book a plot for immediate use at our Wellington cemetery by calling now on 0800 525 500.
  • Advance register for a plot at Wellington plot and get a free living will, here.
  • Learn more about the concept of natural burials and cemeteries, here.
  • If you would like to learn more about us, join our support group here.
  • If you would like to buy a natural casket, see the range here

We are uniquely qualified - since we were formed in 1999, we have undertaken the most scientific research ever conducted by one organisation into issues related to natural burials.

Being buried naturally means nature’s own processes to do their work, returning your body to the soil completely in only a matter of years.

Your financial and bodily contribution helps restore the cemetery into a beautiful native forest or ecosystem suited to the location, which will stay that way in perpetuity.

Also, look through our website for information on

  1. obtaining our popular "Natural Will" pack
  2. ideas for greening a traditional burial,

Thanks for your interest in our work.
