What is Natural Burial?
Natural burial offers an environmentally conscious and deeply meaningful way to honour both the body and the earth after death. It allows the body to return naturally to the soil, using only biodegradable coffins or shrouds made from natural materials.
Burials take place at a shallower depth, supporting the body’s natural return to the earth, while enriching the surrounding ecosystem.
Over time, these spaces become thriving natural landscapes – supporting native plants, wildlife, and biodiversity. They can regenerate the land and create protected natural environments that thrive for generations to come.
People who choose natural burial often value sustainability, simplicity and a connection to nature. It is a final act of giving back to the earth that has sustained us – a legacy that honours the interconnectedness of all life.
Who we are
New England Natural Burial Group, based in the Uralla Shire NSW, is a group of passionate locals working to establish a Natural Burial ground in our region.
Natural Burial Grounds in NSW
A growing number of cemeteries across NSW now offer natural or bushland burial options. In NSW, most natural burial sites are found within hybrid cemeteries-traditional cemeteries that include dedicated bushland or conservation burial sections.
One fully standalone natural burial ground currently operates in the state,
with more under development.
