Woodland burials 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 natural setting. You will not see rows of headstones, just beautiful countryside. Graves can be marked with bronze plaques. To protect the health of our woodland, graves are not placed among the roots of mature trees. Instead, each grave has the option to be marked by the planting of a native tree or shrub of choice, a meaningful living memorial that enhances biodiversity and allows the woodland to flourish naturally. Our philosophy is to create a new wood through the planting of native trees, thereby adding to the country’s tree stock. The native trees planted provide an ideal habitat for a variety of wildlife, helping to sustain the surrounding environment.
