About Us.
Fenns Meadow Green Burial Ground is a small family run business based in the North Shropshire Countryside, just outside Whitchurch.
Here at Fenns Meadow Green Burial Ground we offer you three options of either an Interment, an Interment of Ashes or the Scattering of Ashes within our woodlands.
The choice of the final resting place is an important decision to be made. Fenns Meadow creates a secure, peaceful and beautiful environment in which to be laid to rest. Throughout each season the site maintains an air of beauty and peacefulness, with stunning countryside views.
Interments.
Here at Fenns Meadow, we offer the opportunity for the purchase of a single or double burial plot. You may pre purchase them or purchase them at the time of passing.
HAVING A SERVICE AT FENNS MEADOW
Here at Fenns Meadow we offer you the opportunity to have the service within the meadow land if you wish, or you can have the service at a church or place of memorial before you come to Fenns Meadow for the burial itself. Your service can be religious or non religious. We have contacts with local Funeral Directors that can help you with this and local Celebrants that can also help write your service.
MEMORIALS.
Here at Fenns Meadow due to the site being a natural Green Burial ground, we do not have headstones, instead we offer a small stone marking plaque - containing just the initials of the deceased - that can lie flush on the grave. This is to ensure that the site looks as natural as possible.
There are also the options of adopting a tree in one of our young woodlands and having a wooden marking plaque next to your tree. Finally, we have our beautiful Wood-Henge that can take engraved wooden plaques, enabling you to leave a memorial to the one you have lost.
COFFINS & SHROUDS
We do have quite strict rules regarding the type of Coffin or Shroud that you are buried in, as it has to be biodegradable. So we suggest wicker, willow, cardboard or bamboo.
Burial of Ashes
Here at Fenns Meadow, we offer the opportunity for you to bury ashes within our meadowland.
This allows you to say goodbye to your loved one, knowing that their ashes will rest in peace with us here.
