- This edited video of my brother's natural burial is released publicly with the permission of the family. We hope it gives other's inspiration to choose a similar way to be buried.
Hein was Dutch-born in Indonesia. The family immigrated in 1950 to NZ when he was 13. Some elements of Maori culture are included in the burial since Hein was keen to include this part of the NZ culture.

SORRY for your loss - Thank YOU for sharing this film and the lovely service - R I P Hein
I learned about natural burials only recently. This is how I want to be buried after I die. This was beautiful to watch. Thank you so much for sharing, Willie!
This is what I want!!! No embalming no casket no concrete vault. This is all natural than men and women did for centuries. This is the way it should be.
🕯🙏
I am afraid of embalming. We believe it hurts the corps.
Can I ask what the palms laid over the casket symbolize? Just curious. What a beautiful ceremony. All natural. I love it. Rest in peace brother
There is no right way there is a reason people embalm, use caskets and burial vaults. Stop being a snob.
Murph88 why am I a snob????? I don’t like your comment at all.
This was a moving service! I am being cremated, no service, just hug my family and friends. I loved the easiness and natural feeling of Hein's burial
serving Jesus ...I am going to be cremated.....No mourners. No religious bullshit. My ashes to be thrown out with the crematorium' s trash.
You should look into aquamation. It's not legal in most states in the USA now and I'm not sure about other countries around the world, but it's an eco friendly way of processing remains with very little damage to the environment. Ask a mortician channel is where I learned about it. Also talks about the pollutants that the cremation process produces.
Natural burial means natural burial. No embalming, no casket, no hearses, no horses and carriages. Just a quick, peaceful, orderly, proper burial with a few songs and petals. Very solemn as it should be. Even though it is 4 years later, my condolences to your family and thank you very much for sharing this video with us.

Love and gratitude with deepest sympathy thank you for sharing this beautiful ceremony. RIP Hein.

Me too.
yes so beautiful i can just imagine the worms crawling up his nostrils and the rotting bodily fluids percolating into the ground water and contaminating the wells that we all drink from, septic tanks are natural too.
@@MrMisanthrope1RBjr there are no worms in 6 feet😅. There is no conterminating...when you clean your car with water there is more conterminating ..😚😔
@@dogfriend872it looked more like 3 ft, not 6.
Thanks so much for sharing this special ceremony
I love it, this will be how I go one day.
Thanks for sharing the video!
This is beautiful..natural..the biblical way..i cried like a baby!! Peace to the family!!!
The most amazing heartfelt celebrations of life I have ever witnessed! There was something very organic and light about it. It makes me wonder about the life he lived. I love it.
Thank you for your sharing Jasmine. I can say he lived his life with a strong dedication to caring for our planet, all people and all things and I'm grateful he was my father. Arohanui, much love from Aotearoa.
Thank you for sharing your bitter sweet moment with us. It was a beautiful way to send off your loved one to his final resting. RIP Hein. 💐🍁🌱🌸🌳🌷🍀🌾🌿🌹🍃
This what I always wanted.This how it is supposed to be
That was absolutely beautiful!!!! Thank you so much for sharing this time with the world everyone of you that were there are amazing!!!!🌹
I'm sorry for your loss. Thank you for posting this video to inspire others.
This was such a beautiful funeral. And that family is huge. It seems so much more personable and loving doing it this way where the family is involved. I wish there were more places in the US that did it this way.
Can a natural burial be legally done in the USA ?
Natural burial is legal in all 50 states
dana Laborde yes this is your right in the US. There's more and more funeral homes doing this these days. Look up Caitlyn doughtery. She has a funeral home in LA that specializes in natural funerals. She has a TH-cam channel called Ask a Mortician.
If your wife died you can legally keep her home and bury her in the back yard. It's 100% legal. If you don't tell anyone about it, it's life in prison.
This burial was really chill, he must have been a really great man.
This is how it used to be done and I am glad we are returning to this more natural way
This is so beautiful and respectful ,,,, in most countries now even dying has become a business!!!!!!!! This is the way it was meant to be! Dust to dust! RIP 🙏🏼🙏🏼
God bless Hain! I didn’t know him but I can see by all the nice friendly faces at his funeral that he was very much loved and cared for. Thank you for sharing such a private moment with the world to better understand “green” burials. Everything was simply beautiful. NZ is a special place.
The way it should be. Instead of leeches taking every last cent a family has for a "funeral".
Do you think they take much less??
Gimme a break and take off your rosy colored shades!
so johns telling us all all how it should be, john shut up
@@MrMisanthrope1RBjr I agree in top the moron forgot, that these "natural burials" are offered by "leeches" as well who ask for the SAME......$$$$$$$, not oranges! He's a moron!
Green burials can actually be REALLY expensive.
@@cringefest7841 yup...that's just business too and is supposed to bring business to the channels "advertising" this!
We Aboriginal people in Western Australia do the same for our family members who have passed away its respect for our loved ones
Our Aboriginal people do the same for our loved ones in Western Australia
We do the same thing in West Africa we cut the hair the whole thing
my condolences.. it's a beautiful burial...full of love, so pure and natural
This is beautiful. I would like this for myself.
Thank you for sharing. This is the way I want my body to be buried and then I'll move on....
This is the most beautiful burial I've ever seen. It's seems so in tune with nature. RIP
Absolutely raw, beautiful, and love filled. The participation of loved ones in all aspects is amazing. Love to all💗
Such a gentle, loving tribute.
I am so sorry for your loss of your brother, Hein.
Did your brother arrange this before (of course,) or did the family plan such a loving burial and tribute?
I have never seen a funeral so beautiful.
You go straight to dirt really fast this way maybe it is the best burial type
Thanks for sharing with us
Sorry for your loss. We have been burying naturally for centuries as muslims. It gives dignity to the dead. My prayers with the family.
How do t
You bury the women who are stoned to death?
@@gypsytreasures3856 hahhha very funny......but very good question.
This is a very personal send off for some one they loved dearly, extremely touching.
Thank you for sharing this very personal and wonderful moment 💕❣️💞💖💔💟
Reminds a little bit of my mum's funeral, she's also buried in Nelson. Mum died in 2013 in perth Australia aged 61, where she'd lived since 1968, however she was born in Nelson to maori parents. Mum never really knew her biological father, he left the family when she was 5, my nanna then re-married to a white man, he formally adopted my mum and her siblings. Nanna died in 1967 aged 38. In 1968 mums stepdad (my grandad) had been offered to buy his brothers pig farm in western australia, grandad accepted and moved the family over, mum was 17. To cut the rest of the story short, mum met my dad in 1972, a 39 year old, recently divorced Italian immigrant with 3 kids (my 3 half brothers, who adored mum and considered her their mum). They married march 1973 (Dad 40, mum 21), my sister was born in june 1973, me august 1975. Mum and Dad were married 14 years before divorcing in 1987. After the divorce, mum studied and became a nurse, working predominantly in aged care, something she became passionate about. She worked aged care up until 2012 when she was diagnosed with cancer, she only lived another 9 months and died 18th march 2013, exactly one week after my sons 10th birthday, something she was determined to hang around for, she loved all of her 5 kids (3 bros, sister and me), 12 grandkids and her 2 great grand kids (now 6 great grand kids).
Her wish was to be buried in her hometown, next to my nanna and have a traditional Tangi. Which what we did for her, a wonderful celebration for a wonderful lady, miss her everyday. I like to tell her story as it reminds me of her and how much she meant to us. My eldest brother turned 60 in July, in his birthday speech he spoke a lot about mum and read a letter that mum had written and given to him shortly before her death, the letter was affirmation to him that he is and always will be her son, her little Jimmy (his name is Giacomo but everyone calls him Jim). That meant a lot to him and my brothers (their mum had effectively abandonded them and moved back to italy after she divorced Dad).
My apologies if this was a long post, just watching this reminded me of my mum. ❤️ my sympathies to the family of the deceased in this video.
Many thanks for your interesting feedback. Since it's awhile ago, and because this video has proven to be so popular, I don't get round to reading all the comments. I can conclude that you are Maori. My brother Hein had a strong passion for the Maori culture and included much of it in his primary school teaching years at Hampden Street Primary School in Nelson. The Tangi held for your mum in Nelson took place 3 years before Hein's burial. I live in Denmark with my Danish wife but get back to NZ and especially Nelson pretty regularly. Just in case you want further contact with me, write to hwkolff@gmail.com
@@williekolff yes I'm maori, well to be more precise, half italian/Half Maori (My Dad was born in Sicily but grew up in southern Tuscany) but I was born and raised in Perth. My first name is Antonio, but mainly go by Mick which derived from my middle name "Mikaera" (maori equivelant of Michael, my Grandad's name was Michael). I'm proud of my heritage, moreso as I've gotten older.
My sister has lived in new zealand for nearly 30 years (I lived there briefly when she moved there), haven't seen her in more than 3 years due to Covid but am heading over there early next year for her 50th birthday. We plan on heading down to Nelson (My sister lives in Rotorua) to visit Mum. Looking forward to it, will be the first time in a long time all of us (my 3 brothers, my sister and I) have been together in the one place.
This was a very private moment that was beautiful and a privilege to watch. May he RIP
Thank you
God be with you
Rest in peace
I would LOVE to have a burial like this. Traditional burials are expensive, a waste of space and poisonous chemicals are ruining our enviroment. This is a great alternative.
What a beautiful service. I'm so sorry for your loss
Thanks for sharing gives me a different perspective of how I want to be buried when I’m gone and so much easier no box just the air and me
Cha Lee.....that hole was pretty deep. The Green Burials to shallow graves lol....

@@angelfireliteIn Africa, specifically Kenya, we usually dig graves to 6ft depth. Was shocked to move to the US & hear of 3-4ft deep.
This is so beautiful!!! I was looking for "Green Burials" when i found this video. I wish there were more green burials in BC, Canada.
Hi, I know this comment is from four years ago, but there is Heritage Gardens Cemetery in Surrey that does green burials :)
@@tpaypay yes, it's a fairly new site along 16th Avenue. I also learned there's one in Vancouver Island.
What a beautiful family and amazing love to have for each other. ❤️ thanks for sharing. Sorry for your loss💛🌸🌼🌸
Thank you for sharing🙏 condolences to the family.
Catholic Cathursian monks also bury like this. Returning to mother earth naturally.
questo non si può chiamare un funerale senza bara e non in un luogo sacro sono senza parole seppellito dai parenti neanche una tomba decente non ce rispetto neanche per un funerale dignitoso
per un funerLe decente
It's wonderful seeing everybody taking part young and old,,
That was so beautiful.. R.I.P. Hein. 🙏🏻
Gentle TRADITION...All People are smiling...Good idea..
Love this Sharing your wonderful thoughts with your family
This is beautiful I hope I can have this when I pass on
That was a tough watch, but beautiful. When my time comes I hope to have a natural burial too.
WHAT A SWEET SPECIAL SEND OFF. VERY PERSONAL. VERY TENDER.

@@rosyamaro9358 Did you forget your glasses?🙂
Common way in Middle East and also traditional Jewish burial style, but many countries regulate that casket must be used.
How did they get the land to dig the hole there....I have heard of Green Burials but they buy into the land to use the grave with those.
@@angelfirelite How they got the land? The state sells or allocates plots just like regular cemeteries.
That's was beautiful. The old ways before they made money out of dying. Beautiful simple and inspiringxx
I am from Indonesia..So sad see this Video my Sister/brother...I hope all of you are keep strong...deep Condolonce to you...
Such a beautiful service. One like I'd like to plan for myself
Pure respect. Pure love. Pure life.
thank you for sharing bless you all
My wife and I already pre-paid for our cremation....
This is my wish to have a green/ natural burial , having attended one.... two years ago of a friend who purchased his own plot in advance and another friend not only has he purchased a plot but wait for this....he has also got his headstone ( ABLEIT certain details) in his bedroom for when his own passing away occurs.
This is not different from an Islamic burial.
Beautiful - sorry for your loss x
Thank you for this I'm going to look into natural burial for my husband myself and my children horse my children when they get grown he'll probably change what they want to do but I like this very much it seems to be the way God intended us to do
Beautiful!..Bless you All.
Where is this?
A very dignified and very respectful funeral R.i.p
Sorry for your loss thanks for sharing. Going to research natural burial in my area this is the way I want to go. I came into this world with nothing and want to go out the same way.
What part of the world do you live in?
@@williekolff Eastern U.S.
I want the same.
This is what I want I am making a formal will stating so and my children know what I want hopefully God willing at least twenty years in the future but was such a lovely gathering thank you for sharing x
Excellent way to cross the rainbow!
I would love something like this but, my family would never do this. And frankly. This for them
I am so sorry for your and your family's loss....losing a beloved family member is so hard. This is how I would like my death and burial to be handled. You honored your brother by doing this.
Very spiritual,,
This is really beautiful. I'd like this way done when its my time. Thank you for sharing this precious moment.
I'm not a fan of public funerals and lots of tears. Just put me down a hole and cover me in. Thank you.
Profound, simple, natural, beautiful.
I love this way, I'm glad it's becoming more common, it should be this way
Oh! I respect their way of burial died body person they didnt put in a coffin.
What a beautiful service. I wish this would happen where i live. RIP dear man. God bless family and friends.
This is how we all should be buried , may he rest in peace
Prayers
I can see very similarly to the Islamic way, anyway it's very nice and simple. I'm sending my condolences 3years later. RIP
The Muslim way is based on the Jewish way.......
@@hans2406 earlier christian also like that. just look in the bible. it just it have been corrupted by greedy people to make profit from expensive burial
Very beautiful and respectful. Peace to you.
Simple soft down to earth, silence,
With tears alone could add,
Beautiful
this is fascinating to watch, and so much cheaper than any conventional method of deposition I wouldn't be surprised if more people opt for this in the future
Lovely
A truly beautiful ceremony.
This is how burials SHOULD be done. Nature back to nature, by the hands of loved ones.
Who is Hein and what was his life?
Merci pour la vidéo,Que son âme repose en paix
Everyone helped out with the dirt
Beautiful service Rest in Peace 😢😢
I like this way of a burial. I like this better than Cremation.
Very nice
I love it
Beautiful.
As it should be! Gods bless you all...💖
This is the way should be ...its simple and beautiful...
