Eco-friendly burials use coffins made from recycled materials, saving trees which would otherwise be felled in tropical rainforests. What is the point of burning precious timber in crematoria? Be part of something new after your death and in time new woodland will evolve, which will encourage wildlife.
Greenhaven offers an ecofriendly and economical way of interring your loved one in a truly traditional and family led way. A way which pre-dates the formal rituals offered by high street funeral directors who follow a pattern which only arrived in Britain in Victorian times. www.greenhaven.org.uk/
The Eternal Forest Trust nurtures life within woodlands, helping everyone to celebrate nature, including the disabled and young people. The Trust, based on the Lleyn Peninsula in North Wales, offers woodland burials and dedicates plots and trees in memoriam and celebration. www.eternalforest.org
