If you are looking for a unique way to honour someone close to you, at The Natural Funeral Company, we can help make that happen in thoughtful ways that allow you to experience this process in the way that works best for you. At The Natural Funeral Company, honouring the environment along with those we are laying to rest is part of what we do.
We provide a range of natural funeral services in Auckland and the surrounding areas, from simple cremation to private family farewells – and more formal community-based funerals. Choosing a suitable venue is an important part of the process of farewelling your loved one. While traditionally, a service may have happened at a church, there are now any number of places that are accepted as funeral venues.
You may choose the church your family is affiliated with; you could opt for a hall, a crematorium, a private home— or anywhere else that offers a venue hire service that doesn’t exclude funerals. Some people prefer to have a service outdoors at a garden or a beach, and it really comes down to what has been requested or what feels most appropriate to your circumstances.
At Natural Funerals, we have a beautiful old brick church in Auckland where you can hold funeral services, and we have a wide range of additional services which can be included on the day that can be specifically designed to suit your unique needs.
When you choose our Arohanui Room as your venue, you can bring religious or cultural items along, and we can comfortably accommodate around 50 guests. This room is also perfect for more intimate gatherings. We can take care of all your needs at our place, or we can help you organise everything you need for a service elsewhere. We can provide a livestream link for those that cannot attend.
If you would like to discuss a funeral service, we are here to help.
The Natural Funeral Company has been assisting families in the wider Auckland area for 20 years now.
We began after hearing people say they would like a cardboard coffin and would like not to be embalmed. Not much has changed over the years apart from a wider choice of eco coffins, and although we do embalm at times, we have lots of experience with our unique care of a person’s body.
Our premises has a calm ambience (it’s been an old church) created to feel like home with lots of candles, flowers and plants.
And we understand the importance of guiding with sensitivity and support through the many choices and decisions that need to be made
