Green Funerals

A growing environmental awareness is leading many to consider the green credentials of their end-of-life decisions. As a company whose origin includes climate change within its founding principles, we are more than happy to work with you in these aims and to brainstorm innovation in this area. We are an organisational member of the Natural Death Advocacy Network.

*Please also note that Shrouded Cremation is currently becoming possible in NSW and we are associated with the pilot program.
