There are two ways to arrange a natural burial:
Arranging through a funeral director
Contact your local certified funeral director listed here and state that you want to be buried at the Natural Cemetery. They will advise us of your plot booking and organise the following on your behalf: payment of our registration fee ($299 inc GST with marker $199 inc GST without marker), provide a coffin that meets our standards, arrange for payment of the local council fees and conduct all their usual services for you.
Certified funeral directors on-charge our registration fee. This covers a personalised engraved wooden plot marker (if required), our certification system for funeral directors, cemeteries and coffins, and the work of our not-for-profit organisation over-seeing and promoting the cemeteries.
Self managed

We will register the deceased and plot with your chosen natural burial cemetery. The cost will be $299.00 inc GST, with marker / $199 inc gst, without marker. You will need to pay the local council’s plot, interment and maintenance fees yourself.
