Coffins, Caskets and Urns are to be made from Bio-degradable Materials.

Coffins, caskets and urns are  to be made from bio-degradable materials and embalming is to be avoided (if required a bio-degradable fluid alternative must be used such as AARDBalm).  Each grave is marked with a natural memorial such as a native English tree, bird,bat or owl boxes which made from fallen oak, also benches supplied by Respect made from fallen oak or living willow each with a personal  inscription . No formal granite headstones will be permitted.

We only carry out one burial per day with religious services typically held at local churches with a short graveside eulogy before final repose or a full graveside service carried out by family and friends – The Choice is Yours!
