A Considered Burial

by Matthias Weber (PSFK Hamburg)

Woodland Burial Parks situated in the north London suburb of Epping Forrest offer a green alternative to burial. Plots are available in circular groups around selected trees amongst the quiet tranquility of a mature English Woodland. Coupled with the notion of putting back what we take out, the Parks offer a very natural and pure concept, almost the way nature intended. The concept goes further than just good conservation, they also offer local schools, communities and other interested organizations educational programs. To cap everything off…only wooden memorials are permitted, no fake marble headstones here!

Their website reads:

Our promise is to provide service and burial options that surpass all the desires and the expectations of the bereaved. We adopt an enlightened approach to changing attitudes towards conventional practices, while at the same time retaining absolute respect for the culture, traditions and the environment within which we operate.
