A really helpful initiative which I am sure will be an enormous help.

This is a new idea we're very happy to be part of. Loss is part of life and we need places for natural conversations to help us adjust......

We are very lucky here in Devon to have a wide selection of excellent natural burial grounds. People's reasons for choosing natural Burial are not always sustainability-driven but often because it offers a more natural and less formal alternative to crematoria or traditional cemeteries.

Natural burial.

While vast sums of money are poured into promoting direct cremation, there’s another choice that you might not have thought of.

Around the UK there are hundreds of natural burial grounds. While locally they will be well known, there hasn’t been a strong collective movement to encourage people to think about choosing natural burial for themselves or for someone they love, so this is an option that is often overlooked.

This gorgeous photo is from one of the natural burial grounds recommended by the Good Funeral Guide, in Oxton.

Have a look and see whether there’s a natural burial ground near you, and go and visit it. Once you’ve walked in one of these beautiful places we think the idea of cremation may take second place in your plans.

Prices vary throughout the country, but are usually significantly lower than traditional burial in cemeteries.

Always something soothing about making a pebble tower....
