Beech Wood Green Burial is for every one of any faith or none. The Burial Ground is non-denominational but individual plots may be consecrated.

 

Traditional funeral patterns do not have to be followed and the funeral can be carried out with or without the involvement of a funeral director. It is your choice whether you have a religious service, a secular service or an informal gathering.

​

The site has been planted with over 4000 native deciduous trees with an open ride and burial glades seeded with wild flowers. The area will continue to change and develop over several decades as the trees grow to maturity and the wildlife increases. The land will be managed by the Boston Woods Trust, a local independent charity working to improve the landscape around Boston.

 

There are 14 wild flower glades, each named for the predominant trees planted around them. Either a full burial plot, or a smaller  plot for the interment of cremated remain can be purchased.

Each site will be marked with a piece of Lakeland Green slate with the deceased details and a plan of the site maintained recording every burial.

​

Although we will take advance reservation of  a plot in the wood, to ensure minimum disturbance to the site all burials will be placed sequentially with the exception of a spouse or partner when arrangements have been made for a double plot.
