About Green Funerals

A natural woodland burial offers a peaceful and beautiful alternative for those who wish to honour a loved one in a more organic setting. Surrounded by unspoilt countryside, these special places provide a gentle return to nature and a meaningful way to give life back to the environment.

 

Instead of traditional headstones, each grave may be marked with a memorial tree or a simple bronze plaque. This approach preserves the natural landscape, encourages native wildlife and wildflowers, and ensures the woodland can be cherished by generations to come.

 

Across the county, there are several carefully chosen natural burial grounds, each with its own character—from tranquil woodlands to flower‑rich meadows and protected nature reserves. All share the same commitment to sustainability, using biodegradable coffins and shrouds to support the natural cycle of the earth.

 

We can liaise on your behalf to help you find the perfect resting place, ensuring the setting reflects the wishes and spirit of your loved one
