Woodland Burials, Green Burials
Natural Burial Sites - Green Burials
Choosing a natural burial is a beautiful way to return to the earth, and we understand the importance of keeping every element of the process in harmony with nature. Many natural or woodland burial sites require memorials to be crafted entirely from wood, free of any metal fixings, and this is something we specialise in.
Our on-site carpenters are skilled in creating bespoke wooden memorials and plaques, ensuring your tribute is both personal and environmentally friendly. We can work with you to design a piece that reflects your loved one's memory, whether it's a simple, elegant plaque or a more elaborate memorial.
In addition to wooden memorials, we also offer ashes caskets crafted without any metal components, ideal for those choosing cremation and a natural burial. Please don't hesitate to contact us to discuss your specific needs and how we can help you create a lasting and natural memorial.
A Post with a Plaque
This is a simple but effective idea to mount any of the wooden plaques on. The top of a 3" x 3" iroko or oak post is cut at a 45 degree angle and the wooden memorial plaque is fixed to it with wooden dowels.
The oak post is normally treated with a wood preservative and finished with Satin varnish or Osmo oil. Iroko posts are treated with very natural Devon Oil. However we can leave untreated if preferred.

Crafted from richly-grained oak, or the robust and weather-resistant iroko, wooden memorial tablets offer a natural and timeless way to commemorate a loved one. These tablets, suitable for lawn memorials, green burials and memorial gardens, can be simply elegant with a carved name and dates, or more elaborately designed with personalised inscriptions and symbolic imagery.
The warm, organic nature of the wood blends seamlessly with the surrounding environment, creating a peaceful and reflective space.
Oak is a beautiful and highly durable timber, but it does require maintenance. If water seeps in, fungal activity can cause the grain to blacken. Naturally oily, Iroko can even be left untreated; however, to maintain its fresh appearance, wipe it over with Devon Oil every couple of months.

Engraved Wooden Crosses
Our wooden crosses, available in six sizes, serve as both memorials and grave markers. While oak is the most common choice, we also offer options in iroko, opepe, or painted sapele. Lettering can be either engraved directly into the wood for a traditional appearance or onto a separate plaque for enhanced visibility.
Oak crosses are typically finished with a durable satin varnish, while iroko and opepe are treated with Devon Oil to preserve their natural beauty.
Prices range from £60 to £175 depending on size and timber.
