The Woodland Burial

Walk through the beautiful woodland…

Listen to delicate birdsong and the gentle breeze through the boughs. Sunlight filters through the branches of majestic oaks and apple trees. As you walk, you let memories wash over you. Moments of joy, loving words and gestures, never forgotten. An overwhelming sense of peace follows you. This is where you find yourself. At the resting place of your loved one. In a setting that could not be more perfect.

A stark contrast to a more traditional cemetery experience. Crowded headstones, many unkempt, damaged and unreadable. Wilting flowers. A reminder of the sheer number of people buried there. There is no life.

An Environmentally Friendly Alternative

Woodland burials are becoming a popular choice for many people when choosing their final resting spot. With concerns over the impact of traditional burials and cremation on the environment, plus nearly half of all UK cemeteries predicted to be full within the next 20 years, ‘green burials’ are on the rise as an environmentally friendly alternative.
