How Eternal Grove Works
A simple and natural process
​
Eternal Grove provides a peaceful woodland resting place where ashes can be interred beneath trees.
The process is designed to be straightforward and respectful, allowing families to make arrangements in advance or at the time they are needed.
Step 1
​
Choose a memorial option
Families begin by choosing the memorial option that feels right for them.
Woodland Placement
A single ashes interment position within the woodland.
Family Tree
Exclusive memorial rights around one tree for a family.
Each option provides a peaceful resting place within a protected woodland environment.
Step 2
Reserve the memorial option
Once a memorial option has been chosen, a reservation secures the memorial rights within the woodland.
Some families choose to reserve in advance as part of future planning, while others arrange the memorial after a cremation.
The reservation confirms the chosen memorial option and woodland location.
Step 3
Ashes interment
When the time comes, ashes are interred within the woodland using a biodegradable urn.
Interments take place quietly within the natural woodland setting, with family and friends attending.
Each interment location is carefully recorded within the woodland register to ensure accurate long term records.
Step 4
A living woodland memorial
After the interment the woodland continues to grow as a natural forest.
Families are able to visit the woodland and spend time in a peaceful natural environment where their loved one rests.
The woodland itself becomes the lasting memorial.
