What is Direct Cremation at Tithe Green?

Direct cremation is a no-frills cremation without the attendance of family or friends at the crematorium or any kind of funeral service. Following the cremation, the ashes are returned to close family to be scattered, kept or interred. If you do not want a funeral and just an affordable cremation, then this is the option for you.

At Tithe Green, we offer exclusive direct cremation and green burial packages that take care of everything from the passing of your loved one to their interment at one of our beautiful burial grounds surrounded by nature.

Please note that we currently only offer direct cremations in Nottingham and Nottinghamshire.

A leading natural Burial Ground & Woodland Cemetery in the UK.

Voted winner of Best Burial Ground in the UK in 2019, Tithe Green is a unique place for remembrance, where families, friends and loved ones can connect through nature, memory and conservation.

Our family owned cemetery is driven by a deep commitment

to the conservation and restoration of the environment, and our compassionate and experienced staff can help you plan a memorial service or intimate remembrance for your loved one.

Tithe Green opened in 1999, situated in Sherwood Forest

(near Nottingham City). The backdrop of Darcliff Wood offers a unique perspective to the burial ground and reinforces the feeling of true nature whilst providing habitat for wildlife. Natural Burial is still a relatively new concept in the UK with the first grounds set up at Carlisle in 1993.

An attended cremation resembles a traditional funeral. A celebrant or religious leader will typically lead the service, and it is often arranged by a funeral director. They will talk about the person who has died and the service may feature readings or music. The person who has died will then be cremated.
A direct cremation is a cremation without a service. The person who has died will be cremated, and their ashes will collected by us and securely stored until the interment or memorial service has been arranged at a time that suits you, if you want to.
Once the deceased has been collected by our partners at Calverton & District Funeral Services, you will need to register the death at your local registrars. They will then issue you with a Green Certificate which authorises the cremation.
Once you have this you will need to complete and sign an Application for Cremation. To do this you need to visit Calverton & District Funeral Service. Please call Craig or Simon on 0115 965 5588 to arrange a convenient time. After this form has been signed, we are able to proceed with the cremation.
