South East

South Downs Natural Burial Site, East Meon, Hampshire

A tranquil burial site, which offers a private corner of the South Downs National Park where family & friends can enjoy peaceful reflection where the creation of native woodland becomes a lasting tribute to those buried.

The burial ground is situated on the south facing slope of the South Downs, 2 miles from Old Winchester Hill & is easily accessible from the A3 and A32.

The land is owned by the charity Earthworks Trust where conifer plantation is being removed to be re-planted with native broad-leaf species. 

Spectacular views of the South Downs & South Coast.

Graves dug by hand. Service room & catering facilities available on site.
