St Albans Woodland Burial Ground, Keysoe, Bedfordshire
Regional Runner up in The People's Awards for the Best Natural Burial Ground in the UK 2024 and 2018 The Trust provides woodland burial located within 50 miles of the M25 in beautiful countryside at Keysoe in Bedfordshire. Surrounded by 60 acres of trees in community woodland, this is an ideal setting. This is not a commercial cemetery; the woodland is owned by a Charitable Trust. There are no paid staff, the Trust is managed and operated entirely by people committed to the principles of a natural woodland burial. The woodland is made available for all and we will go out of our way to assist you to make the arrangements of your choosing. We are enthusiastic about our woodland and we are sure that you will understand why if you are able to visit this beautiful place. We always welcome visitors and can arrange to meet you on site if you would like to discuss anything about the woodland or make reservations.
