Photos showing the arrival of 300 boxes of the Fifth Edition of The Natural Death Handbook at the charity's headquarters in May 2012. Additional images were taken at 'Death Fest' at the Southbank Centre 27-29th January 2012, where we spoke to hundreds of people and with their help created a bejewelled pink coffin.

The environment of our green area is kept as natural as possible and is a scenic and peaceful setting. It is a permanently managed area that is as natural as possible and will provide a safe refuge for birds and wildlife and will allow wild flowers and trees to thrive.
Each grave space is marked with a natural york stone marker and a memorial tree. Wild flowers and bulbs can also be planted on the grave space. Pre-purchasing of your plot is available if you so wish for a burial or cremated remains. We are always pleased to welcome visitors to look around our Cemetery.
