John and Tanya Schipper are the new owners of The Natural Funeral Company, based in Eden Terrace.
They purchased the company from Chris Foote one year ago. Chris was one of the original pioneers of natural funeral homes in the Auckland region. While John and Tanya continue to offer natural funerals, they also provide bespoke and traditional funeral services tailored to individual needs.
A Lifetime in the Funeral Industry
John's journey into the funeral profession began in 1981 after attending his grandfather’s funeral. Deeply moved by the experience, he pursued a career in funeral services, earning qualifications in both Funeral Directing and Embalming. Over the past 40+ years, he has worked in various funeral homes across Auckland, from small family owned businesses to large corporations. His leadership roles include serving as President of the New Zealand Embalmers Association and Chair of The Funeral Service Training Trust. Additionally, John is a Justice of the Peace, further demonstrating his dedication to service and community.
Compassionate Care and Professional Expertise
Tanya brings a wealth of experience in administration, customer service and accounts. Currently studying Business Management at Open Polytechnic, she ensures that families feel supported in a relaxed and calming environment. Tanya has also been a dedicated volunteer with the Cancer Society Auckland Division for over 15 years, a cause that holds deep personal significance for her after losing her mother to cancer.
A Thoughtful Approach to Farewell Services
At The Natural Funeral Company, we understand that saying goodbye is deeply personal. Whether you are seeking a natural farewell, a bespoke tribute or a traditional service, we are here to guide you with care and sensitivity. Our goal is to help you honor your loved one in a way that reflects their unique life and values.
