Martungka Natural Burial Ground is located within the Kersbrook Cemetery.
Officially opened in 2024, Martungka (Kaurna for ‘in remembrance’) is a dedicated natural burial ground within the Kersbrook Cemetery. Martungka offers a unique final resting place for natural burials in the beautiful Adelaide Hills.
In natural burials, no chemical or embalming fluids are used and to allow remains to decompose naturally, the deceased is buried in an environmentally sustainable casket or shroud.
To preserve the natural habitat of Martungka, there are no headstones, flowers or vases at the graveside. Locations of burials are mapped and recorded using GPS and microchip ensuring current and future generations can locate the place of burial.
Interment rights in Martungka are for 100 years and can be purchased ‘pre-need’. Sites are allocated on a next available basis at the time of burial.
