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.
