There are endless venue choices to choose from. You might decide to have the service at a crematorium, a church, your home, or at The Natural Funeral Company. For more personalised locations it may be possible to have the service in a garden, at a beach or anywhere else that feels appropriate for the person who has died, and their family and friends.

One thing to consider when organising a gathering is the movement of your guests and whether you will provide refreshments at some stage. It is easier, though not essential, to have everything at the same place so guests don’t have to leave to transfer to another location.

At The Natural Funeral Company we have our Arohanui Room that comfortably seats 50, it also feels intimate for just a few people too. Remember when hiring a venue, we may need to hire equipment such as microphones, speakers, chairs, catering items, a projector and screens.

It is possible to have a funeral service in any venue that can be hired.
