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.
