The Natural Burial Funeral Service 

We understand that not everyone wishes to use the services of a traditional funeral director. The desire for more personal and family led goodbyes is growing, and we are finding that there is a great demand for personalised family services.
Therefore, we can provide simple, personalised, environmentally friendly funeral services to meet family needs. However, if a traditional funeral service meets your requirements, we will gladly provide a list of funeral directors.
However, for those who require a simple, personalised goodbye, without a traditional funeral director, we pride ourselves on being able to arrange and conduct extremely personal funeral services. Whilst endeavouring to provide competitive pricing to help support families as well as caring for the environment.
Our ethos is simple, care for the environment, care for the bereaved, and fighting funeral poverty.

The Traditional Natural Burial Service:

• Making all arrangements and administration, including all local meetings, visits as required, support before, during and after the burial service.
