Woodland Green Burial, Eco Burial or Natural Burial, These are all terms now commonly used to introduce an alternative choice to traditional Victorian cemetery burials which can often be rather cold unwelcoming places.

One of the main reasons for choosing a green burial is your respect for nature and the lasting benefit YOUR CHOICE will give to generations to come and the loved ones left behind. An “ECO” Green Burial can cost less than traditional burials.

It can be as simple as you wish with no fuss at all or you can choose a traditional church service before the burial and even a small graveside eulogy.

For family plots, unlike many councils and churches, we do not charge double or even any extra at all if the deceased lives outside of the area. This is one of the main benefits of choosing and pre booking a family plot. You can rest assured all of the family can have the right to be buried together even along with the beloved family pets.

The 21st century presents a new consumer who is looking for a clean ‘Green’ burial to accompany a conscious, low environmental impact life. Whilst we cannot all choose to live a completely green lifestyle Green Burial offers the chance to choose to continue a ‘cycle of life’ in natures most natural way.

Eco burial is an exciting solution, with a win-win scenario for individuals, wildlife, environmental enthusiasts, local authorities and government.

Alternative Green Burial started in the early 1990s and is growing rapidly in popularity in the UK. It is our intention to develop an alternative sustainable eco burial area which supports the values of green space preservation, carbon sequestration, habitat creation and nutrient recycling. The park will mature into sustainable native mixed broadleaf woodland.

Our eco warden and proposed friends group will manage the site so as to encourage the natural regeneration of flora and fauna and in turn support and encourage a plethora of wildlife for many generations to come.

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 will have natural memorialisation marked by a flat stone or clusters of trees, wildlife flowers and bird boxes etc. No formal granite headstones will be permitted.

We will only allow one burial per day with religious services typically held at local churches with a short graveside eulogy before final repose.

Burial plots will be mapped to a unique datum point and chronologically numbered; the computerised registry system will log all details of applicants and deceased. All burials will be carried out in accordance with the Burial Act 1859 and in line with the recommendations of the local authorities cemeteries order 1977.

Parking for 40 cars with ample room for disabled parking, We like to promote / encourage car sharing to visit the park.
