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.

Westall Park Woodland Burial, Redditch, Worcestershire

 

Regional Runner Up in the West Midlands

in

The People's Awards for the Best Natural Burial Ground in the UK 2013

 

Westall Park is one of the pioneers of Natural Burial. Opened in 1997, it is well established with well over 400 interments, as many reservations, and over 450 interments of ashes.
Located midway between Worcester and Stratford-Upon-Avon, Westall Park is set on a stunning hillside with far reaching views over the Worcestershire countryside, stretching as far as the Brecon Beacons.
Our guiding policy is of a 'return to nature', where the natural beauty of the developing wood on the landscape is the enduring memorial. Native trees and shrubs are randomly planted around the park to create a mixture of wooded areas and open glades, connected by a network of picturesque paths. Plots are marked with an optional wooden plaque and visitors are encouraged to plant wildflower seeds and bulbs to enhance the existing flower meadow.
Our aim is that all graves will be grassed over level in time, and in the long term burial areas will progressively return to natures own cycle of care and renewal to become a truly everlasting and dignified place of rest.
