Why choose a natural burial ground for you or your loved one’s final resting place?

As our environmental consciousness grows, so too does the desire for a final resting place that has a gentler impact on the environment and local wildlife. This is where natural burial grounds like Old Park Meadow Natural Burial Ground offer a compelling alternative for you, or you loved one’s final resting place.

Natural burial grounds differ from the traditional cemetery as they forgo embalming fluids and opt for biodegradable coffins or shrouds that are made from materials like wicker or untreated wood. This allows the body to decompose naturally, returning nutrients to the soil and enriching the ecosystem at of the natural burial ground and nature reserve.

These burial grounds are far from empty landscapes. Often meadows bursting with wildflowers or tranquil woodlands, they provide a safe haven for flora and fauna.
