Burial Arrangements
While discussing all the other arrangements, your funeral arranger will guide you through the process of choosing a suitable burial place and complete the necessary documentation on your behalf.

New graves are available at:
These cemeteries do not have new graves available but you may be able to use a grave you or your family already have;
For those who may prefer a more natural surrounding for their loved one a woodland burial is worth considering. The main difference is that no permanent memorial is allowed on the grave, usually just a simple wooden plaque. Each burial ground is slightly different throughout the country in how they operate and what, if any, memorialisation they allow on the grave. The closest woodland burial ground to us here is Temple Fields Cemetery, in Temple Balsall. The cemetery only opened this year so have a look at their website for more information. Westall Park Natural Burial Ground in Redditch has been established a number of years and is definitely worth considering.
