At Cockpen New Cemetery. ‘A woodland or green burial offers a return to nature for those wishing to be buried amongst trees and wild flowers…aim to minimise environmental impact…creating a semi-natural woodland…become…a permanent self-sustaining wood. Green burial grounds are to be kept as wild and natural as possible.’ [extracts from the information notice].
