The burial of ashes, also known as interment of ashes, is the process of placing cremated remains into a permanent, fixed resting place, offering a location for remembrance and visits by family and friends.
We offer this here at Leafy Lane Natural Burial Woods. The process can be done using a burial urn or sometimes as loose ashes and can provide a lasting memorial for the deceased, and and may or may not involve a memorial service
At Leafy Lane Natural Burial Woods you have the option of also planting a memorial tree and having other natural memorials like a bird box, bee hotel or bat box.
