We’ve compiled the 2025 list of natural cemetery prices, combining the plot and interment costs (price of the land, and price of digging and filling the grave).

The average cost of a natural cemetery plot is $4,075 (excluding extras such as weekend interments).

The most expensive sites are in Fairhall in Marlborough ($7596) – though admittedly a lovely location, and Waitkumete in Auckland ($6590) – a heavily landscaped zone.

The cheapest sites are in Taupo ($1455) – overlooking a deep forested valley, and Buller ($2292).
