Natural burial, sometimes called green burial, is a simple, environmentally-friendly way to be laid to rest.
Unlike conventional burials that may involve embalming chemicals, veneered coffins, imported stone or concrete vaults, natural burials use biodegradable materials and low-impact practices, allowing your body to return gently to the earth.
It’s a kinder option for nature, and a more personal one too.
We offer two types of burial at our woodland site:
Whole-body natural burials
Ashes burials
You can reserve plots next to loved ones, inter ashes together, or arrange for ashes to be buried alongside a full burial. The choice is yours.
Visit the burial ground and pick your preferred area in the woodland.
Shape a ceremony that reflects your values, personality and life. There’s space for individuality here.
Pay in full or with flexible options to spread payments over 10 or 20 months.
Whether you're looking to secure a plot or simply want to know more, we’re here to help.
