About
Paperbark Deathcare & Funeral Home is an independently owned, women-led funeral home and approved mortuary based at South Murwillumbah. It offers honest, personal end-of-life and funeral care, with transparent pricing and a no-pressure approach: direct cremation, burial with eco-friendly options, full funeral ceremonies, home vigils and home funerals, dedicated care for babies and children, and pre-arrangement and end-of-life planning.
It describes itself as Australia's first non-invasive, holistic mortuary, using no toxic chemicals, with an open-door policy that allows family to be present throughout the process. Care is sustainable and personalised to each family's values and cultural wishes.
