Wellington’s natural option
For fifteen years, Broadbent & May has been Wellington’s niche eco-funeral provider. We are so grateful to all the families who have entrusted us to take the best care of their person.
Thank you.
But now, with the planned move to Dunedin, for ‘Mainland’ adventures, it’s time for change.
After a ‘Cinderella search’, we believe we’ve found the ‘best fit’ solution to continue the Broadbent & May legacy.
They’re ‘Funerals Naturally’, an established, locally owned funeral company committed to the concept. They have the same core values, the same suppliers and the same boutique feel. They also have the ability to offer more services throughout the Greater Wellington Region.
We’re confident you and your family are in safest hands.
Funerals Naturally will help you organise a thoughtful farewell at a time, day and place of your choice, whether that be for burial or cremation.
They will ensure that the funeral satisfies the wishes of the person who has died, reflecting their values and acknowledging their relationships with family, friends and colleagues, celebrating their life and loves – whether that be an event involving their wider community or an intimate gathering of close family and loved ones.
Full Service Funerals
They’ll capably take care of the entire event if you find you need to focus your energies elsewhere. They will meet with you wherever is most convenient to discuss the funeral arrangements. They will manage all the bookings and administration. They will take full and kind care of the deceased. They will organise the celebrant, newspaper notices, flowers, music, service sheets, audio-visuals and catering after the event. They will attend and oversee the burial or cremation.
Family-led Funerals
Funeral Naturally recognise that some families want to be more hands-on, choosing to actively participate in some or all aspects of the funeral arrangements; taking responsibility for the care of the deceased, building the coffin, creating their own funeral ceremony, providing floral tributes from home gardens, family recitals, home baking and using their own vehicles for all transfers. They will offer suggestions and options throughout.
Whether the death was expected or sudden, they offer support, advice and resources. They can help with planning and logistics, suggest venues and recommend service providers.
DIY Funerals
Funerals Naturally recognises that more families are choosing (legally) to arrange funerals without engaging a funeral company. If you are confident you have everything in hand but have a few questions or need a coffin or to hire equipment – contact us.
