Eden Valley Woodland Burial Ground is a beautiful 20-acre ‘green burial cemetery’ located in Kent and run by the Natural Death Centre Charity.

Burials take place adjacent to the ancient, bluebell woodland, amongst younger but well-established oak trees. Memorial trees planted will enhance this new woodland further and over the years, extending it over the whole site.

There is no ceremony hall or toilet facilities at Eden Valley, so you may wish to think of holding a service in a location nearby or having a service at the graveside.

Set within an ancient woodland, Bluebell Cemetery natural burial ground offers a beautiful alternative to a traditional burial. Graves are set amongst trees and wildflowers with them being simply marked with a rustic stone or wooden plaque.
