Woodland burial in a woven willow coffin here at Herongate Wood

Whenever I have attended funerals in crematoria, I have always found it difficult to ignore the feeling of it being a 'conveyor belt' process, despite all efforts to make the occasion personal. As soon as I heard about this 'green' burial site near to where I live, I knew this was the way I want to go out from here - though I feel that none of us really 'goes' anywhere very far !

A sleep I shall have,
A rest I shall have,
Yet death will be but a pause;
For the peace of my years
In the long green grass
Will be yours and yours and yours.
