Our approach
Every burial ground listed here has been contacted directly. We ask about setting, plot options, pricing and management approach, then publish what we can confirm. Where facts have changed, the listing is updated — and the verification date is shown plainly on each page.
Understanding your options
A plain-language guide to the main forms of eco-friendly burial found in the UK, and how they differ in setting and approach.
Graves dug within an existing or newly planted woodland, where memorials are usually limited to trees or simple markers. The aim is long-term stewardship of native broadleaf habitat.
Burial in open grassland managed as wildflower meadow. Headstones are typically not permitted; graves are often marked by a registered plot number or a low native planting.
Some grounds combine woodland and meadow areas, or sit beside reservoirs and wetlands managed for biodiversity. These tend to offer the widest range of plot choices within one site.
A simpler arrangement where a funeral director may not be required, and family or friends can lead the ceremony. Availability depends on the site and on local authority rules.
