FAQs

Can I choose my very own resting place?

You are very welcome to visit us and walk our beautiful grounds to personally select a special final resting place for you or your loved ones.

Alternatively, you can ask a family member or us to do this for you when the time comes.

Can any domination be buried there?

Absolutely.

Is the ground consecrated?

No, all earth is sacred to us; but individual plots may be blessed, should you so wish.

Is it possible to hold a ceremony in the grounds?

Absolutely. The Coach House provides a beautiful, peaceful setting for those who wish to pay respects or hold a ceremony with family and loved ones.

Will there be headstones?

We do not use traditional headstones, but a small slate marker will distinguish each plot.

Does each person have a tree planted as a memorial?

We will plant an English native tree at an appropriate time of year in remembrance of each burial.

Can I be buried with my pet?

Yes, your pet’s ashes can happily be interred with you.

Is the woodland maintained?

The formal, neat look of a traditional cemetery does not apply here at Rose Farm. Our grass is only mowed at specific times of year to encourage wild-flower growth. Grazing sheep may also be seen in the grounds as well as a variety of birds and animals who choose to make this their home.

What will happen to the woodland in years to come?

As a family owned business, the property is held in Trust. We want you to rest assured that under English Law, its current use is protected to the maximum possible extent. This means as much to us as it does to you, as some of our family are already buried here and the rest intend to join them.
