Testimonials
“Thank you so much for everything and please pass on our thanks to the boys too! Niall was very comforting and funny! For the worst experience I could ever imagine - you all made it a lot easier. I'm comforted to have her resting in such a beautiful place and the place she picked herself! Thank you again”

“I'm at the burial ground now, first time I've managed to visit since the lockdowns.
I'd just like to say thanks for the grounds and for looking after them just the right amount.
The walk up the drive is a painful reminder of what was lost, but an hour or two spent here is good for the soul.
As I walk around I'm surrounded by bird song, there are still some bees and it being autumn plenty of fungi, and dotted in nooks and crannies and under bushes stones with names, dates and a handful of words. Cows mooing in the next field. Everybody here was very loved and their final resting place was chosen with love and care. It's not a sad place at all, a thoughtful one but not sad.
So once again, thank you.”

“My mother, (name deleted), was recently buried at the Natural Graveyard. Thank you so much for the special and beautiful experience we all had laying her to rest, my mother’s lifelong interest in native plants, conservation and gardening made it exceptionally meaning full to everyone there to lift a spade with her one last time.”

“Thank you so much to you, and Niall, especially, for Mom’s interment this morning. It was beautiful, and personal - and poured rain, which is just her favourite kind of day! The graveyard is so beautiful and peaceful, I know my mom would have loved it.”
