People today are generally more aware of how their lives impact on the environment. For some, the same thoughts extend to their effect on the environment after they die. Eco Funerals are those where various environmentally friendly funeral options can be considered.

The Eco Funeral is quite a new concept and while it can embrace a range of characteristics there are various conditions that will influence final choices. Visit www.ecofunerals.co.nz for more information.

Morris & Morris provides Eco Funeral options including no embalming, alternatives to standard embalming and eco-friendly caskets in plain radiata pine and cardboard. At present there are no eco burial sites in Northland – the closest is Auckland – however planning is underway for a site at Maunu Cemetery.
