Do I have to have a cardboard coffin? No. Coffins can be of any wood e.g. oak, pine etc and also of bamboo or cardboard. The only request we would make is that as it is a natural woodland we would rather non metallic handles were used.

Is the site non denominational? We welcome people of all denominations and also of non-denomination.

Can I have a Church Service? Yes. A service can, with the agreement of your respective clergy, be held before coming to the Remembrance Park to inter the body. Alternatively a service can be held at the graveside by a member of the clergy. The plot can be blessed by a member of the clergy, but a Bishop has to consecrate the plot if this is required. Some people choose not to involve the clergy of any denomination but to hold their own service, with their own words. This can be held at the graveside or at the Pavillion which is provided for such a purpose.

Can I put flowers on the grave? You are welcome to put flowers on the grave on the day of the burial (these will obviously be removed when they are over). As a long term measure we would suggest that maybe a few snowdrops be planted on the grave, or maybe a tree planted in remembrance. (We would request that consultation before doing this is adviseable). The Remembrance Park has wild bluebells, wild daffodils and other wild flowers and we would not wish to interfere with these.

Can I visit at any time? The Remembrance Park is open from 10am until 3pm but any time by prior arrangement.

Can there be a headstone? As the site is natural woodland we do not have headstones as such. However, we do suggest a York stone plaque laid flat on the ground, engraved, if people so desire. These are obtainable via the Remembrance Park and quotes can be given.
