One fee covers every aspect of our professional service with no hidden costs.

  • Professional Service Fee: $2,950. This covers the coffin, transportation, and all administrative requirements.

  • Cemetery Costs: These are separate and vary by location. Whether you are using an existing family plot or purchasing a new one, council interment fees are paid directly to the local council (e.g., Richmond, Marsden Valley, or Seaview).

  • Traditional Options: While our standard handcrafted pine coffin is included, more traditional styles are available as an additional option if preferred.

Handcrafted in Richmond

We believe in a return to simplicity. Our coffins and shroud trays are made right here in our local workshop using sustainable materials, offering a natural and dignified choice for a graveside service.

Q: Which cemeteries do you serve?

We work with families at all cemeteries across Richmond, Nelson, and the wider Tasman district.

Yes. We specialize in direct, personal gatherings at the graveside, allowing for a quiet and respectful farewell.

We coordinate directly with the local council to manage the interment on your behalf using your existing plot.

If you need a simple, direct burial for a loved one, I am here to help.
