What is a woodland burial?

Woodland burial was once seen as a niche alternative, however today many people are looking for a more environmentally friendly method of burial.

We offer a dignified service that is provided within a woodland setting. You will not see rows of headstones, just beautiful countryside and woodland. Graves can be marked with bronze plaques.

The native trees planted provide an ideal habitat for a variety of wildlife, helping to sustain the surrounding environment.

Why create a new woodland?

  • Generate oxygen
  • Provide fuel and food
  • Rejuvenate and stabilise the soil
  • Create habitats for wild flora and fauna
