The eco-friendly nature of a natural burial is an appealing alternative to traditional burials and cremations with many woodland burial grounds having opened since the UK’s first in 1993. If you have chosen natural burial for your loved one’s funeral, your funeral director should be able to recommend appropriate locations in your area, or you can search for one with Funeral Guide’s directory.

As well as being more environmentally friendly, woodland burials are often more affordable than their traditional counterparts. Prices vary from location to location, so make sure you ask your local natural burial ground for a full guide to their prices and what services they offer.

If you have a particular location you’d like to use for your loved one’s woodland burial, speak with your funeral director about your choices. They’ll be able to find and communicate with natural burial ground owners and operators, arranging the perfect place and time for you.

Woodland burial grounds are intentionally kept closer to nature than a traditional burial ground and most have very subtly marked gravesites, and in many cases graves are marked only by trees. Many will offer you the option of planting a tree at your loved ones grave as a lasting, natural memorial.
