Environmental Funerals

At Golden Bay Motueka Funeral Services, we provide a range of options tailored for individuals mindful of their environmental impact. Our offerings include caskets crafted from renewable materials, eco-conscious embalming, cremation, and burial solutions. Our dedication to sustainability is evident throughout our operations, reflecting our commitment to offering the most environmentally responsible choices available in New Zealand.

For instance, our caskets are predominantly made from untreated pine, complemented by biodegradable liners and trims. This choice not only ensures natural decomposition without harmful emissions but also minimises fuel consumption during cremation compared to cardboard alternatives.

We prioritise eco-friendly practices, striving to minimise our carbon footprint at every opportunity and we understand that navigating the array of environmental messages can be overwhelming. Get in contact to understand more about our environmental practices.

Each year, we have a tree planting memorial day, organised in collaboration with our partner funeral home, Marsden House. This special event offers a unique opportunity for families to honour the memory of their departed loved ones while contributing positively to both the environment and the local community.
