Green Burial

Since we opened, Woodbrook Natural Burial Ground has grown to become a beautiful, tranquil and peaceful final resting place chosen by people from all over Ireland and beyond. With ashes and full burial plots available we will work with you to ensure you receive the burial option you require.

Memorial Tree Service

Honouring your loved ones in a meaningful way, we provide a distinctive service that involves planting a memorial tree in a dedicated Irish woodland space. This enduring tribute not only celebrates their life but also contributes to the flourishing of nature.

As a memorial gift, it can be a very fitting tribute, one that simply does not fade away. This service can be used to commemorate anyone, not just those buried at Woodbrook Natural Burial Ground.

What is a natural burial ground or woodland burial ground?

In its most simplistic form, a natural burial ground is a graveyard where the land has a second use, as a living, developing native Irish woodland and wildflower meadow. Gone are the marble headstones and concrete surrounds that are commonplace in other Irish burial grounds, replaced instead by a small simple grave marker and the planting of a native Irish tree.
