A greener alternative to a traditional cemetery

Natural Burial is a greener way of returning someone to the earth, using only natural, biodegradable materials. With the site surrounded by nature, many families find it a peaceful place to visit and reflect.

There is no embalming, standard coffins or headstones. Instead: a wicker basket, banana leaf or cardboard coffin or a simple shroud.

With 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.

Who we are

At least one of us will be there on the day of the funeral to offer further support if needed, whether that’s pulling the funeral bier or giving less mobile relatives lifts to the graveside, we’re happy to help in whatever capacity we can.

We are a farming family that have farmed in the area for 3 generations. The site was once an agricultural field but we thought it was destined for more than this due to its incredible views that we loved so much and wanted others to enjoy too. Come and see for yourself.

We are completely family run.
