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.
List of Natural Burial Grounds
Exwick Cemetery, Exeter, Devon
Our natural burial site is on a hillside within Exwick Cemetery, Exeter. Its city setting means it has good road and public transport links. The site offers natural burial in a secluded glade surrounded by mature trees. Memorials are not permitted in the natural burial area but memorial benches, plaques and trees can be placed elsewhere in the cemetery. The cemetery is council run so the long term maintenance of the site is assured. There is a non denominational chapel available for secular and religious services. We can advise on all aspects of the funeral including obtaining a biodegradable coffin or shroud. We work flexibly with people to give them the funeral they want – just contact us with your needs. If you have feedback on this site please complete our Feedback form See location on Funeralmap.co.uk
