We certified Richmond Funeral Home for natural burials in 2017, when we collaborated with the Carterton District Council in setting up the Totara Grove natural burial zone at Clareville Cemetery.

Richmond was extraordinarily receptive and supportive of the concept from the outset. This was critical to the success of the natural cemetery as it is the only full funeral home facility in the South Wairarapa based at Carterton.

Peter and Jenny Giddens are proud to fuse modern trends with it long standing community history, offering personalised funerals with traditional values.
