A wonderful, comprehensive article canvassing all the options around planning a funeral (or not). And some damn fine common sense comments from Asha at Grace Funerals
We must add however that when ABC Life says "There aren't really any rules about what you can do with a person's ashes" you do still need the permission of the landowner!

There's more to organising a funeral that just picking between cremation, burial and what colour flowers to have. But knowing your options (and how much they cost) ahead of time will help you make the right choices.

Our story

After looking at the local funeral industry, the founders of Green Burials International could see opportunities for change by tackling head-on some of the issues the industry is currently facing.

These include the diminishing space available for burials, the environmental impact of current practices, the difficulty consumers have in comparing costs of funerals and memorial products, and the lack of death literacy and end-of-life planning knowledge.

We look to transform the industry by encouraging the establishment of living, green memorials that use 100% biodegradable products and offer beautiful, personal experiences.

Along the way, we see a crucial part of our work as being part of the 'death-positive' movement - encouraging people to talk about and accept death as a normal and natural part of life.
