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.
You can choose:
A whole-body natural burial, or
An ashes burial, either on its own or alongside someone you love.
Many people reserve side-by-side plots, or choose to place multiple sets of ashes in the same space. It’s flexible and personal, just as it should be.
Walk the meadow and select the area that feels right.
There’s no set format. Your farewell can be formal or relaxed, spiritual or simple, whatever feels meaningful to you.
You can pay in full or in monthly instalments over 10 or 20 months.
