Views across The Vale of Belvoir
Natural burial is a greener way of returning someone to the earth, using only natural, biodegradable materials.
An example of a banana leaf coffin
There is:
no embalming
no standard coffins
no headstones
Instead: a wicker basket, banana leaf coffin, cardboard coffin or a simple shroud.
And the option of a flat wooden graveside plaque or brass plaque on our remembrance wall.
The grave becomes part of a living wildflower meadow, home to bees, insects, butterflies, birds, deer and hares.
With the site surrounded by nature, many families find it a peaceful place to visit and reflect.
