About Us

Gordon & Alison are your hosts at the Park and are available to meet you at any time during daylight hours to guide you through the different options available to you, i.e. Woodland, Meadow, or Togetherness Section where you may be laid to rest with your beloved pet. A Woodland Eco/Green Burial Park is a place where interments of loved ones takes place in bio-degradable coffins / shrouds or even a favourite blanket and cremated remains are interred. Grave spaces are marked by the planting of a tree or a memorial fashioned from a natural product, i.e. sustainably harvested wood, small local stone laid flat to the ground and in some cases the memorial may be a bird, bat or owl box, or hedgehog hide etc.

The aim of the park is to meet the growing demand for Woodland Eco/Green Burial facilities offering choice to the community of environmentally friendly burials. The flora and fauna on site receives minimal maintenance to encourage naturalisation thus providing ideal habitats for local wildlife. Native tree species such as Holly, Oak, Ash, Cherry and Birch are being used, under planted with native wildflower species to encourage butterflies, wildlife and birds. It is a multi denominational burial facility with a separated section for the environmental burial of pets and a joint section for those like-minded people wishing to be buried alongside  their pets.
