Choose environmentally friendly woodland burials

There are now around 200 woodland burial sites all over the country. The environment of green burial grounds are kept as wild and as natural as possible. If you wish to give something back to nature and contribute to the formation and preservation of nature, opt for a green funeral.

By doing this, our beautiful woodlands will in turn become a rich and diverse self-sustaining wildlife habitat.
A peaceful resting place

A peaceful resting place for those you love

Green funerals refer to a meadow or woodland burial. This is complemented by the use of a coffin made from biodegradable materials such as willow or chipboard. Memorials and headstones are generally not permitted, but often memorial trees can be planted to mark the grave.

Other aspects of an eco-funeral are the use of less vehicles which in turn leads to use of less fuel. Woodland burials do not include embalming.
