Are you looking for Eco-Friendly Funerals in Oswestry or the surrounding areas of Shropshire? Our independent family-run funeral directors offer caring and professional meadow or woodland burials for your loved one.
Our Green & Eco-Friendly Funerals
Here at Shropshire Funerals, when we talk about green and eco-friendly funerals, we mean meadow and woodland burials. In conjunction with these types of ceremonies and burial modes, we are pleased to offer a wide range of biodegradable coffins, ashes caskets and urns.
These environmentally friendly casket options are made from either cardboard, seagrass, willow, bamboo or sustainable woods.
There are many woodland burial sites across the UK, while here in the beautiful North Shropshire countryside, the Fenns Meadow green burial grounds is our local woodland burial site.
The surrounding environment of green woodland burial grounds is kept as natural and wild as possible after internment at Shropshire Funerals, our green funerals service can arrange for such an environmentally friendly green or woodland burial in professionally managed woodland burial sites.
Woodland burial plots are set amongst natural wooded locations, where you and your family members can bury your loved one or scatter their ashes in a beautiful and organic setting.
The wholesome and calming environment of woodland burials is a natural, tranquil place for families and friends to come together in contemplation of the life of your loved one.
Fenns Meadow Natural Burial Ground
The Fenns Meadow Natural Burial Ground is a family run business based in the Shropshire hills and countryside near Whitechurch. They offer the advanced purchasing of burial plots within their natural meadow.
This advanced purchasing will alleviate the burden of choosing a plot for you when the time comes. You may also purchase plots at the time of death.
Fenns Meadow also offers ashes internment within their meadowland. At Shropshire Funerals, we offer several degradable urn options for this very purpose. The scattering of your loved one's ashes within their beautiful woodland is also an option open to you and your family members.
The beautiful location of Fenns Meadow green burial grounds also allows for great flexibility. You and your family may choose to conduct the green funerals service on their meadowland or traditionally in a chapel before travelling to their woodland for the burial.
The funeral service can be religious and non-religious as they are in contact with local churches and secular celebrants that can help compose your loved one's service. If you would like to, you and your family members may even write the remembrance service and deliver it yourselves, if you so wished.
The woodland or meadowland plots may also be consecrated. There are, however, strict rules detailing what types of coffin, shroud or urn can be used. Fortunately, we are pleased to offer a wide range of degradable and eco-friendly urns for just such occasions.
So please, do not hesitate to get in touch to call and contact our team today if you are considering a woodland burial or scattering of ashes for your loved one.
