Sometimes called Woodland or Green Burial, is the increasingly popular, environmentally sound alternative to the traditional cemetery. Green burial sites often serve a conservation purpose and are not usually visually definable as a burial ground because they respect the natural appearance of the land.

All materials used in green burials, such as coffins and shrouds, are natural and sustainable to reduce the environmental impact to the land and surrounding environment. Those who opt for a green burial often do so because they feel they are giving something back to the earth.

Woodland burial also offers the ultimate in flexibility and control to those organising a funeral. Some families prefer to have a greater level of personal involvement which can add a therapeutic element to the grieving process, perhaps by organising the ceremony or sourcing your own natural coffin, as a Funeral Director I'm happy to provide as much or as little guidance as you need.
