What Is A Natural Burial?

Natural burial (or green burial) is a term used to describe the burial of the deceased in an area which creates new habitats for wildlife (flora and fauna) or preserves existing habitats.

At a time when municipal and church cemeteries are running out of space and there are environmental concerns over cremations; natural burials offer an alternative which is environmentally friendly, whilst having the long-term benefits of giving back to nature and creating peaceful and public green spaces.

At Go As You Please, we have an ongoing commitment for the development of native flora at Seven Penny Meadow, with an aim to create a self-sustaining natural environment in the long term. Click here to see more about our wildflower meadow.
