Our settings
With all of our approaches, you can choose from either a woodland or wildflower meadow setting. Wildflower meadow burials take place all year round. Woodland burials are also year-round, except for tree planting and burial of ashes, which take place between November and February.
Woodland
Woodland burials involve tree planting, boosting the habitat for birds and natural wildlife. Our woodlands are peaceful places to visit, and it’s lovely seeing the trees inch taller over time. Adjacent plots aren’t possible here.
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.

Services we offer at Tithe Green Oxton
Natural burial
(from £1,825)
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 £775)
This means burying ashes in the ground in a biodegradable container. As with our main natural burial approach, this can be within woodland (with a tree and plaque) or a wildflower meadow (plaque).
Direct cremation + natural interment of ashes
(from £1,915)
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 £650)
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!
