How can we help?

An experienced local gravedigger prepares each grave with machinery. They take great care to make sure everything is ready for the funeral.

We carefully manage the land to protect soil health, native plant life, and local wildlife. For this reason, we do not permit the scattering of cremated ashes within our grounds. Ashes are highly concentrated in minerals such as calcium, sodium, and potassium. They are also alkaline in nature. When scattered repeatedly in the same area, ashes can significantly alter soil chemistry, affecting pH levels and nutrient balance. Over time, this can impact wildflowers, grasses, and delicate ecosystems that depend on stable soil conditions. Maintaining biodiversity and supporting native species are key priorities. By avoiding ash scattering, we help preserve long-term environmental health while ensuring the landscape remains a thriving habitat for generations to come.

Natural fibres such as cotton, wool, linen or silk are ideal. Avoid synthetic fabrics, zips and plastic buttons where you can.
