Respectfully accommodated us on the day. Supportive, welcoming and helpful before
It was a lovely place to have the burial and to return to. Sally was very welcoming and supportive. We feel very glad to have found Midford Natural Burial Ground for my Dad.
Perfectly suited to nature lovers – it’s a calming, peaceful and uplifting place to be
Calm and accommodating, a beautiful space. Perfect for my Dad, the location felt relaxed and made a difficult day feel lighter.
Kind and caring
I loved the fact that everything was natural and it was in such a beautiful setting. My friend would have loved it. Everyone was kind and caring. Any question we had were answered and nothing was too much trouble.
The most beautifully serene final resting place
Everything from the initial enquiry through to the end of the farewell ceremony despite the obvious emotional nature of the day, was perfect. I couldn’t have wished for a better resting place for my beloved parents. Family & friends have expressed their thoughts that I have chosen well as the meadow is so beautiful, calm & peaceful.
Very relaxing
It was a very relaxing, informal day and ideal for both children and adults alike as well as my wife’s feelings.
It was so personal
What was a difficult decision and day was made easier knowing that Mum would love and appreciate what we had do chosen. It was so personal, we were asked about our wishes, and you listened and guided us to making our decision on how what we believe gave Mum a fitting burial.

Calming, peaceful and uplifting
Calm and accommodating, a beautiful space. Perfect for my Dad, the location felt relaxed and made a difficult day feel lighter.
Everyone who attended said it was a beautiful send-off that suited my Dad and that was largely due to the location. Perfectly suited to nature lovers – it’s a calming, peaceful and uplifting place to be.
The perfect setting
The perfect setting for my daughter who loved the great outdoors & natural settings.
Everything was perfect. Sally was very welcoming to everyone. She explained things very well & made us all feel at ease. Everything was prepared and ready for us, even some dried petals should we want to use them. I have no complaints whatsoever. I thank Sally for helping us to have exactly what we wanted for the day.
Well kept and peaceful
We chose the burial ground because we wanted somewhere easy to visit and natural. The process was easy and achievable when arranging everything. The meadow is well kept and peaceful.
A pleasant, serene, reassuringly natural rest place
We had passed the burial ground frequently and discussed the idea of using it. A family visit confirmed that it was right. The local custodian, Sally Cook, was very friendly and helpful before and on the day of the burial. On the day, we had a non-religious ceremony at a nearby venue, then a graveside ceremony with a celebrant and some music. The family was very pleased with every aspect of the process.
A very beautiful and peaceful place
Helen loved nature but didn’t like graveyards or cremation, we had intended to use the Crematorium until about a month before Helen died, but when we saw the burial ground on the way back from RUH and we changed our wills so Helen could be buried in the meadow instead. It is a very beautiful and natural way to honour the deceased.
Beautiful and peaceful
The burial meadow is at the head of valley where we lived, and we still see it in the distance each time we take the dog for a walk and often drive past. Thanks so much for all your kindness, especially Sally and Cookie on the day.
Easy to access in a beautiful location
My mother chose Bath as her final resting place. We kept the funeral simple and personal – keeping it simple made it a little easier to cope. It is a comfort to know that a loved one is truly at rest and at peace in Midford.
A beautiful hillside, a place of peace
My husband had always wanted a “green” burial, he felt he could still give something back. This was the first one we were told about. Please think about the possibility of a natural burial ground, it cannot be compared to the coldness of a graveyard. On the day, we had close family around the burial time, followed by a service for everyone of praise and thanksgiving in our church.
A pleasant and natural site, with an amazing view of the Somerset countryside
Would thoroughly recommend the site and the service. Bring wellies!
You all helped to make it a pleasant, happy occasion.
Thank you.
Beautiful, peaceful, natural
My mum walked her dogs and rode her horses around this area. It was also her route to work for many years. It’s a beautiful resting place and there’s space to be on your own in your own thoughts.
Peaceful, uplifting somehow. Loved the skylarks singing.
We thought mum would have liked it – it suited her personality and interests. It was a good experience throughout – made very easy for us by everyone involved.
Beautiful, restful, gentle, accessible, unspoilt
We could not have envisaged a better day for Oli. Thank you. Everything was done with dignity, efficiently and with thought and consideration. The Blackcap gave a wonderful eulogy. He loved the countryside so he has found a resting place that he would have loved. Thank you again for making such a wonderful space available.
