Urutapu Funeral Services

Urutapu is the first natural burial funeral service in Rotorua. We offer sustainable choices such as eco-friendly embalming and kopaki or traditional Maori caskets. The family can weave a kopaki as they grieve for their loved one. We promote the kopaki as it breaks down efficiently allowing for a more natural decomposition into the environment. Urutapu also provides family with an atamira matao. Placed beneath the kopaki, they keep the body cool. The atamira matao are the eco-friendly practices that urutapu upholds as we are committed to preserving Mother Earth
