Our burial meadow is managed with care for the land and future generations. We use only biodegradable materials and avoid harmful chemicals, helping protect local wildlife and enrich the soil.
Set in the heart of the Buckinghamshire countryside, the meadow offers a calming backdrop of rolling fields and ancient trees, a space for quiet contemplation, healing, and memory.
Rather than traditional headstones, families can choose natural memorials such as planting a native tree or installing a plaque, creating a lasting tribute that becomes part of the living landscape.
