Policies & Sustainability

  • Tree planting policy: Their management scheme takes account of both our consultation with the Forestry Commission and schemes with Wildlife Trusts. Tree planting takes place in the dormant season, between the months of November and March.
  • Maintenance regime: The grounds are not intended to be manicured, but left to develop naturally, subject to a certain degree of management until the canopy of the trees takes over.
  • Long term vision: The burial ground is becoming an established woodland and provides a sanctuary for birds and wildlife.
  • Grave marking / memorialisation: At each grave they plant a broadleaf tree and place a laser engraved wooden plaque bearing the full name and dates of birth and death of the deceased.
  • Memberships: [TBC]
