Our settings
With all of our approaches you can choose from either a woodland or wildflower meadow setting. Wildflower meadow burials take place all year round. Woodland burials are also year-round, except for tree planting and burial of ashes, which take place between November and February.
Woodland
Woodland burials involve tree planting, boosting the habitat for birds and natural wildlife. Our woodlands are peaceful places to visit, and it’s lovely seeing the trees inch taller over time. Adjacent plots aren’t possible here.
Wildflower Meadow
Wildflower meadows are home to vital insects and other pollinators like butterflies and our increasingly endangered bees. We place plaques instead of trees in these colourful, changing spaces. Adjacent plots are possible here.
How it works
Natural burial
(from £1,675)
This means burying a person in a biodegradable coffin using only natural materials, either within woodland (a tree and plaque are planted alongside) or a wildflower meadow (a plaque is placed).
Natural burial of ashes
(from £700)
This means burying ashes in the ground in a biodegradable container. As with our main natural burial approach, this can be within woodland (with a tree and plaque) or a wildflower meadow (plaque).
Cremation + natural burial of ashes
(from £2,295)
This means enlisting us to arrange an unattended cremation and burial of ashes in the ground in a biodegradable container. As with all approaches, burial of ashes can be attended or unattended.
Memorial tree without burial
(from £600)
This means planting a tree in someone’s memory without a burial taking place. This too can be attended or unattended. All trees are accompanied by a welsh slate plaque with a bespoke inscription.
