Natural and eco-friendly burials

At Pittwater Funerals we can assist you to organise a natural burial, also known as an eco-burial.   In Sydney there are two natural burial grounds-Frenchs Forest Bushland Cemetery and Sydney Natural Burial Ground at Kemps Creek.

  Only biodegradable materials, including coffins, caskets, made from sustainable resources like cardboard, wicker, and solid pine. Flowers must be native flowers with no plastic. These materials ensure that the burial has a minimal impact on the surrounding ecosystem.

Natural or eco-burial is a burial in harmony with nature, so the body is prepared without chemical preservatives and dressed in natural materials. This allows the body to decompose naturally.  A graveside service is usually held to honour the deceased's connection to nature.
