Natural Burials at Bunurong Memorial Park
Find your unique way to remember within Bunurong Memorial Park’s natural burial bushland
We are pleased to announce the upcoming release of Murrun Naroon ‘Life Spirit’, a new and unique natural burial option positioned in a beautiful native bushland environment at Bunurong Memorial Park.

This area provides a sense of openness and the ability to reconnect with nature and give back through returning our bodies to the earth to nourish new life within a distinctly native area.
Murrun Naroon is a fresh alternative to traditional burial that focuses on recreating and maintaining the integrity of a native bushland.
A natural burial option allows for positions to be identified using trees and organic recyclable materials such as timber, that seamlessly blend within the area.
Murrun Naroon gives the ability to re-connect with the earth in a natural and gentle way, creating a unique experience that lasts beyond a lifetime.
