We now have a local natural burial advocacy group in the Gisborne / tairawhiti region. If you’d like to help them organise for a cemetery in the region get in touch with Nisbet Smith on 021 204 1080. Local groups are absolutely instrumental to convincing local authorities to set up natural cemeteries.
Natural Burials
Promoting and certifying natural cemeteries, caskets and funeral directors
Definitely interested in this concept, and a place/s made locally available. The idea that a beautiful native tree will in time form a living memorial to a loved one is worth pursuing.
