🐶 Happy National Dog Day

Dogs bring us so much comfort, especially during life’s most difficult moments. Their quiet companionship, loyalty, and love are often exactly what we need as we navigate grief and remembrance.

At Aylesbury Vale Natural Burial Meadow, we understand the special role dogs play in our lives. That’s why well-behaved dogs on leads are always welcome to walk beside you.

Whether you're visiting a loved one, walking in quiet reflection, or simply enjoying nature, we hope this peaceful space brings comfort to both you and your four-legged companions. 🐕

🌿 Let’s talk about greenwashing in the funeral industry.

More and more people are looking for eco-friendly funerals, which is a positive shift that reflects growing awareness of our impact on the planet.

But with that demand has come confusion. Some services marketed as “green” may not be as sustainable as they seem. This is known as greenwashing, when environmental claims are exaggerated or misleading.

At Aylesbury Vale Natural Burial Meadow, we’re committed to full transparency and genuine sustainability. No shortcuts, no greenwashing, just a peaceful return to the earth.

In our latest blog, we gently explore what greenwashing looks like in the funeral industry, how to spot it, and what to look for in a truly natural burial.

Learn how to spot greenwashing in funerals and what to look for in a truly natural burial. A simple, honest guide from Leedam.

Our Story

In 2012 Sally called us at Leedam Natural Burials on behalf of her mother Dorothy:

“We own a lovely field in rolling countryside with excellent views towards the Chiltern Hills in the middle of Buckinghamshire, which we feel would be an excellent site for a natural burial ground...”

Soon afterwards, I had the pleasure of meeting Sally and Dorothy at Meadle and after a meeting around the farmhouse kitchen table (and a lively introduction to the peacocks, dogs and cats), we visited ‘Long Furlong’ as the meadow is known, for the first time. I could immediately see why this spot had been chosen. The gently rising ground of the meadow has long-ranging views across the flatlands of Aylesbury Vale and fine views of the Chiltern escarpment. It had that special something that every natural burial ground needs. A sense of place; a reason to be there.

Dorothy Brock and her daughter Sally impressed me too. The land has been in their family for generations and they are, to use a farming term, hefted to the land. Straight-talking, no-nonsense, warm and enthusiastic, we shook hands that afternoon and began to make things happen.
