on-line death and funeral notices
memorial stationary made from recycled paper

Eco-Friendly Coffins
Willow burial trays, willow caskets, bio-board caskets, sustainably grown pine are all great eco-friendly options for you to consider. Talk to us about what’s possible.
Eco-Friendly Shrouds
A shroud is usually made cotton or unbleached calico. Your loved one is wrapped in a number of layers of the material prior to being placed into one of our wicker or timber burial trays before their service takes place.
Natural Burial Grounds
In Victoria, we are very lucky to have a number of cemeteries that will allow a natural burial to occur. Speak to us about options and ideas on the perfect natural burial for your loved one.
