Arranging a Funeral

Choose a burial as individual and unique as your loved one.

We are flexible in the types of burial we can offer. You can choose either a formal or natural woodland burial to provide what is right for you and your loved one. We can offer a unique plot to inter a loved one’s ashes as well as providing for full burials.

There are very few rules about the funeral itself. It may be religious or secular, and any idea will be considered to personalise your loved one’s burial. Music can be played, readings or poetry can be read, toasts made and personal tributes may be spoken. A combination of traditional and more modern elements within a funeral may be more relevant when someone has a diverse group of family and friends.
