Natural farewells
For the most natural farewell, we work with exceptional burial grounds, including Westall Park’s eco-friendly woodland, Alne Wood Park’s wildflower meadows with countryside views, and Humber Woodland of Remembrance in Herefordshire. These sites offer peaceful alternatives to traditional cemeteries or crematoriums, where wildlife flourishes and your family can choose the exact resting place for your loved one, helping to develop local woodlands that create lasting environmental benefits.
Additional Fees
We aim to give you ultimate flexibility to make your own choices and personalise the funeral the way you want. Our service types cover the most commonly requested items, but below is a list of additional services you may require:
Usual Third-Party Fees
Our fees do not include third-party costs, as each family’s choice is individual. Your funeral director will itemise these costs for you during the funeral arrangement. The most common third-party costs are:

- Orders of Service
- Newspaper Notices
