The natural burial ground at Usk is an enclosed meadow lying either side of a small stream that runs through its centre. Surrounded by mature trees on three sides, the meadow frames scenic horizons across the Usk Valley towards Twmbarlwm in the west and Wentwood in the south.

What is a natural burial?

A natural burial, also called a green burial, is an environmentally friendly and eco-conscious approach to laying a loved one to rest. Unlike conventional burials, which often involve embalming, metal or MDF caskets, imported granite headstones and concrete vaults, natural burials are focused on returning the body to the earth in a way that minimises environmental impact.
