The majority of funerals at Tithe Green Natural Burial are arranged through local Funeral Directors who then liaise directly with us to organise the funeral on your behalf. It is possible however for a family to make their own arrangements. We would be very happy to offer help and advice on all aspects of planning under these circumstances.

Tithe Green is able to offer both woodland and meadow burials, as well as the interment of ashes. A woodland burial is one where a tree is placed directly on the grave whereas a meadow burial is in an open meadow.
In addition memorial trees can be purchased and planted to form part of the woodland adjacent to the meadow burials.
