South East

St Albans Woodland Burial Ground, Keysoe, Bedfordshire

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.
