Our settings
At our Midlands sites, you can choose from either a woodland or wildflower meadow setting. Our site in County Durham is an established woodland. Wildflower meadow burials take place all year round. Woodland burials are also year-round, except for tree planting and burial of ashes at our Midlands sites, which take place between November and February.
Woodland
Woodland burials involve entwining legacy with nature through planting a tree (at our Midlands sites) or being buried beneath an established tree (at our Blue House sites) as a lasting memorial. Our woodlands are peaceful places to visit, and it’s lovely seeing the trees inch taller over time. Adjacent plots aren’t possible within our growing woodlands at our Midlands sites due to growing and changing tree roots, but are able to be reserved at our Blue House site within the mature woodland.
Wildflower Meadow
Wildflower meadows are home to vital insects and other pollinators like butterflies and our increasingly endangered bees. We place plaques instead of trees in these colourful, changing spaces. Adjacent plots are possible here. Please note we are unable to offer meadow burial or interment at our site in County Durham.

Services we offer at Tithe Green Oxton
Natural burial
(from £1,975)
This means burying a person in a biodegradable coffin using only natural materials, either within woodland (a tree and plaque are planted alongside) or a wildflower meadow (a plaque is placed).
Natural interment of ashes
(from £875)
This means burying ashes in the ground in a biodegradable container. As with our main natural burial approach, at our Midlands sites this can be within woodland (with a tree and plaque) or a wildflower meadow (plaque). At our County Durham site, ashes are interred beneath established trees in our woodland (with a plaque).
Direct cremation + natural interment of ashes
(from £1,975)
This means enlisting us to arrange an unattended, direct cremation and burial of ashes in the ground in a biodegradable container. As with all approaches, burial of ashes can be attended or unattended.
Memorial tree without burial
(from £750)
This means planting a tree in someone’s memory without a burial taking place. This too can be attended or unattended. All trees are accompanied by a welsh slate plaque with a bespoke inscription.
The Keep at Oxton
The Keep is a cosy, welcoming space for people to get together before or after an attended natural burial.
Hand-made from British trees, this lovely, unique structure can seat up to 50 people, with a fire at the ready for colder months.
If you’d like to find out more about The Keep just drop us a line and we’ll send you all the info.
What to expect when visiting Tithe Green Oxton
When you arrive, the car park leads straight onto our wildflower meadow. You’ll see woodland ahead of you, while if you look to the left, you’ll be able to see The Keep, where you and your guests will be able to gather before and after a service.
You’re welcome to spend as much time as you want or need, whether you’re at the site to visit a particular person’s grave or memorial, or you just want to take a walk in the beautiful surroundings. Dogs on leads are also always welcome!
Most of the time, the paths at Oxton are easy to walk on (unless you’re in heels!). However, if you’re visiting us during winter or soon after heavy rain, you might need to bring some boots or a spare pair of shoes, because it can get muddy.
The site is home to a wide variety of wildlife, from bees and butterflies to birds and small mammals. We also regularly see birds of prey circling overhead – probably on the lookout for our smaller residents!
