Yes. The remains from a water cremation can be placed in any standard urn or memorial container. We offer a range of options and are happy to help you select something meaningful.

We’re proud to be the first funeral home in New Zealand offering water cremation. The service complies with all current environmental and operational guidelines, and we’re committed to delivering this option to families who value a more sustainable farewell.
