Our commitment to sustainability guides many of the choices we make – from using a cool room and offering rental  and eco-friendly caskets, to using electric vehicles whenever we can. We believe small, mindful decisions can make a lasting difference for our environment and the generations to come.

Caring for your Loved One

We prefer to care for those who have died in a gentle and natural way and find that embalming is rarely needed. By keeping the body cool, we can provide time for arrangements to be made and for family and friends to take part in the washing, dressing, and preparation — either at our place or, if you prefer, in your own home.

Caskets

Many casket makers in New Zealand are dedicated to using locally sources and sustainable materials with environmentally conscious practices. They create fully wood-based caskets without nails or screws and support forest regeneration initiatives. You can find more about these natural caskets on our casket page or by speaking with one of our team.

Rental Caskets

Rental caskets are a resource efficient choice that reduces waste and conserves resources. Used for the funeral service, each rental casket has a removable cremation liner, allowing reuse of the outer shell. This practice lowers environmental impact while still providing a dignified and traditional presentation for the farewell.
