A natural, eco-friendly choice
Alongside a traditional burial or cremation, a natural burial — sometimes called an eco-burial — is a third option that is growing in popularity. It involves being laid to rest in a natural setting rather than a traditional cemetery, such as among trees or in a meadow.
Our natural burial area covers 0.3 hectares and adjoins the original cemetery grounds, separated by a beech hedge and timber gate, bounded by the cemetery on two sides and domestic gardens on the others.
