  Being buried naturally means nature’s own processes to do their work, returning your body to the soil completely in only a matter of years.

  Your financial and bodily contribution helps restore the cemetery into a beautiful native forest or ecosystem suited to the location, which will stay that way in perpetuity.

  We offer consulting to Councils for a small fee to help them set up cemeteries. We are uniquely qualified. Since we were formed in 1999, we have undertaken the most scientific research ever conducted by one organisation into issues related to burials.

  Thanks for your interest in our work.

  Mark Blackham, Founder - Natural Burials
