Natural Burials
Natural burials are simple, yet beautiful and personal. All materials used in caskets and shrouds are biodegradable, protecting and conserving the natural resources, reducing carbon emissions and encouraging natural habitat.
The purpose of this type of service is to provide an environmentally friendly burial without impacting the wildlife and its surroundings, where relatives can connect with nature and reflect within the tranquil scenery.
Arranging the Service
Your funeral director can assist with arranging the funeral service. If you would like to arrange a site visit or purchase a plot, please call the Temple Fields office on 01564 779531. For all other queries or information, please discuss with your funeral director.
Site Advice
We ask that all visitors are aware of their surroundings. Our aim is to protect and enhance biodiversity on our site, therefore we ask that you respect the environment, do not litter and are cautious of the wildlife, badger sets and fox dens.
The site is open all hours, all year round, giving you the freedom to visit your loved ones as you wish without restrictions or appointment.
Use of our car park is at your own risk. The management will not accept liability for any accidents, damage or loss incurred.
Health and Safety
It is important to be mindful of the natural surroundings. You may notice the ground is uneven or muddy in certain seasons and may worry about carrying a casket in these circumstances. A bier can be available on site for use during funerals.
Additionally, there is currently no fixed shelter to protect against weather conditions, so it is important you dress appropriately.
Those with limited mobility should be aware of the uneven ground and stick to the mown grass paths when possible.
