Our point of difference
The natural funeral company is Auckland based and sees death as a natural and organic process coming alongside families in a nurturing and inclusive way. As directors we seek to understand what's important to you and how best to express this in a funeral process.
Our approach endeavours to be gentle, sensitive and professional using natural methods of body care, eco-friendly caskets and traditional coffins
We can assist with a full range of planning and funeral director services for both burial and cremation.

We would recommend The Natural Funeral Company to anyone going through a bereavement. Their professionalism is second to none. Their empathy and ability to help us navigate through a very traumatic time was extaordinary.
Throughout the entire process we felt informed, reassured and most importantly cared about. They gave us full permission to personalise our process and as a result our memories of the time are filled with joy and celebration.
Thank you so much!
