Epping Forest Woodland Burials
We pride ourselves on always striving to provide the best possible experience for those who have been bereaved, and we do all we can to help make things easier. We strongly believe in families being able to have whatever kind of ceremony they feel appropriate for a loved one, and will do whatever we can to enable this to happen.
Families have made many unusual requests for funeral ceremonies over the years, the vast majority of which we have been able to fulfil for them. Some ceremonies have included a bouncy castle in the courtyard for children attending, African drummers and dancers leading the coffin to the grave, bubble machines, a jazz band and dogs harnessed to a cart to carry the coffin from the Woodland Hall.
Where individuals are considering making arrangements for their own future funeral, we will be happy to assist if we can. Graves and ashes plots also may be chosen and purchased in advance of the time of need by those planning for their own future, providing peace of mind as well as a financial advantage.
Following the funeral, assistance with choosing memorials is available free of charge, and ongoing support for families is available at all of our parks from our experienced staff.
