Woodland Burials
Woodland burials o er an environmentally friendly alternative to traditional funerals at crematoria and cemeteries.
Woodland burials are becoming popular and your funeral director will be able to tell you the location of your nearest woodland burial site.
A range of eco-friendly, biodegradable co ns are available for this type of service. The environment of woodland burial grounds is kept as natural as possible. Memorials and headstones are not usually permitted but often trees can be planted to mark the grave. Your funeral director will be able to provide further information on woodland burials and the range of eco-co ns available.
Dressing
We can dress your loved one in their own clothes, this could be their favourite item or out t, like a football shirt, uniform or a wedding dress. Crematoria will not allow certain items be we can discuss this in more detail. We also have gowns which you might nd a good alternative.
Visiting
We have private chapels of rest, if you would like to visit. Some people nd this comforting, but some prefer not to see the person at rest. If you like, you can put photographs or momentous in the chapel of rest or leave items with us and we will place them in the co n for you.
Service Stationery
Funeral stationery includes things such as order of service, attendance cards and condolence books. It is a nice way to personalise the funeral, by adding photographs, pictures, messages, readings, hymns or poems. If you would like us to, we can help with how it looks and with the word, so it’s all just right. Memorial card and bookmarks can also be given out at the funeral or after the funeral as a keepsake.
Donations
If you prefer, you can ask people not to send owers and instead give a donation to charity or other organisation. Online memorial services can be set up to organise this services such as “Just Giving” can handle donation giving to over 10,000 charities registered in the UK. Alternatively,
we could help with a donation collection at the end of the service.
