Woodland & natural burial grounds in and near London
Woodland and natural burial grounds are a beautiful alternative to traditional cemeteries. There are several woodland and natural burial grounds within easy reach of London, set in beautiful and peaceful locations you can return to time and time again. Some have ceremonial buildings on site where the funeral ceremony can be held with no time pressure.
Some natural burial grounds will allow a simple marker at the grave site whilst others encourage the idea that the person who has died is becoming part of the natural landscape. Each natural burial ground is different and has its own approach. It's good to visit and have a good look around before making a decision.
Poetic Endings is able to arrange funerals at any natural burial ground in and within reach of London. Please get in touch to talk it through.
