Leedam Natural Burials

Leedam Natural Burials We operate 10 natural burial grounds across the UK, all set within beautiful unhurried, countryside.

We are passionate about changing people’s funeral experiences for the better and believe that the space, peace and comfort needed at such times can be found in a natural setting. A funeral at a natural burial ground is somehow gentler, more relaxed and less stressful. Expressing individuality at a funeral can be accommodated at a natural burial ground more easily than at a

crematorium or local cemetery. In recent research by a big chain of funeral directors modern funerals are described as 'celebrations' but in our experience funerals are still funerals. Someone has died, and everyone feels pretty low but the scope for saying goodbye in your own way is enormous and this is where we can help. There is nothing we don't know about what is possible and/or allowed! Our natural burial grounds are rural places where the use of the land for burials is complementary to the traditional use of the land as pasture, meadow or woodland. They are real landscapes, not artificially landscaped parks.

This Earth Day, we’re reminded how important it is to protect the natural world.

Natural burial grounds are designed to work with nature, allowing wildflowers, trees and wildlife to thrive while providing a peaceful place of remembrance.

A resting place that remains part of the landscape. 🌱

As spring begins to unfold across the burial grounds, Easter brings a time of renewal, reflection and quiet moments in nature.

Our natural burial grounds remain open throughout the Easter weekend for anyone who wishes to visit, spend time in the landscape, or remember a loved one.

With wildflowers beginning to appear and the countryside coming back to life, it can be a peaceful time to pause and reconnect with nature.

Wishing you a gentle and peaceful Easter 🐥🌼🌿

Natural burial grounds are places of remembrance, but also places where nature continues to grow.

We’re often asked how the land is cared for, how graves are marked, and how these spaces remain protected for the future.

This carousel answers some of the questions we hear most often about natural burial and the way our landscapes are managed.

If you have a question about natural burial, feel free to ask, we’re always happy to help. 🌿

🌼 Our wildflower project has officially begun!

We’re expanding the wildflower meadow at Delliefure Natural Burial Ground to create more habitat for bees, butterflies and other pollinators.

This project will help boost biodiversity while creating an even more beautiful natural space for visitors to enjoy.

We can’t wait to watch the meadow grow 🌿

Thinking about the future can bring up many questions.

From choosing a resting place to understanding how natural burial works, we’re often asked about the practical details.

We hope these answers help provide a little clarity and reassurance.

And if you’d ever like to talk things through or visit one of our burial grounds, we’re always here for a gentle conversation.

Happy Mother’s Day 🌼

Today, we’re thinking of the mothers who guide us, support us and shape who we become.

For many, their love continues to be felt in small everyday moments, a favourite recipe, a familiar saying, or a place that brings back memories.

For those who wish to spend some quiet time remembering, our burial grounds are always open during daylight hours for visits, reflection and peaceful walks.

Whether you’re celebrating together or remembering someone special, we wish you a peaceful Mother’s Day.

There’s something quietly comforting about the first signs of spring.

Daffodils lifting towards the light.
Fresh green hills stretching out under brighter skies.
Small bursts of colour appear in the grass.

It certainly feels a little bit like Spring at the Usk Castle Chase Natural Burial Meadow today 🌿

Our Story

http://www.leedam.com/ We are passionate about the countryside and making funerals better. We believe that the space, peace and comfort needed at such times can be found in a natural setting. A funeral at a natural burial ground is somehow gentler, closer, and more real.

Our website offers years of diverse experiences, stories and guidance, which we hope will help you organise the day. Afterwards, our natural burial grounds are special, rural places where you can escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life - places of escape, away from it all. They are also managed sustanably, for the long-term, being grazed or cropped for hay or planted to establish new native woodland. They are real landscapes, part of our countryside. Modern funerals are often described as 'celebrations' but putting the ‘fun’ into funerals is not always apt. Someone has died, and the mood can be sombre; the need for ritual is deepset and gimmickery doesn’t feel right. However, the scope for honouring the person and saying goodbye in your own way is enormous and it can help to discover how others have approached the day.

Choosing natural burial is an unselfish act - generous restraint, which protects and preserves the land for future generations. It is also the most environmentally friendly way to deal with one’s remains, which is important in today’s unprecedented scale and pace of environmental change.

Thank you.
