At Robson Funeral Services, we understand that some families wish for a more natural and peaceful farewell for their loved one. A woodland funeral offers an eco-friendly alternative to traditional services, set in tranquil surroundings that reflect the beauty of nature.

These services take place in designated woodland or green burial grounds, where coffins are made from natural, biodegradable materials such as wicker, bamboo, or sustainably sourced wood. Floral tributes are often simple and natural, complementing the serene setting.

A woodland funeral provides families with the opportunity to say goodbye in a calm, personal, and environmentally conscious way, surrounded by nature. It can be tailored to suit personal wishes, whether that means a quiet, private gathering or a more traditional service with family and friends.

Choosing a woodland funeral ensures a lasting, natural tribute, creating a resting place that will remain part of a living landscape for generations to come.

A woodland burial ground is a natural, environmentally friendly alternative to a traditional cemetery. Instead of rows of headstones, the resting places are set within peaceful woodlands or meadows, where nature is allowed to flourish. Graves are often marked with trees, plants, or simple wooden plaques, creating a living, lasting tribute.

Coffins and urns used in woodland burials are made from biodegradable materials such as wicker, bamboo, or sustainably sourced wood, ensuring minimal impact on the environment. Over time, the area becomes a natural haven for wildlife, blending remembrance with conservation.

For families, a woodland burial ground offers a calm and tranquil setting to say goodbye — a place where memories can be cherished in harmony with nature.
