Westall Park Natural Burial Ground

Description

Westall Park aim to create a place which those who wish to remember their loved ones will want to visit, not out of a sense of duty, but from the pleasure and peace of mind it can provoke. Westall Park is a place for quiet reflection, in an informal setting amongst trees, wild flowers and wildlife.

Set in one of the most attractive locations of any woodland burial in the country, Westall Park is located midway between Worcester and Stratford -Upon -Avon, near the village of Inkberrow and is approached via a landscaped entrance and a quarter mile private drive. There are superb views of the Worcestershire countryside stretching as far as the Brecon Beacons.

The guiding policy at Westall Park is of managed woodland burial in which the environmental benefits of natural renewal are balanced against the desire for long term remembrance. Westall Park does not follow any particular faith but in common with all beliefs we all wish our remains to be disposed of with dignity and without being a burden to those that we leave behind.

Green burial offers the most environmentally friendly and enduring form of interment and remembrance and are intended to progressively return to nature`s own cycle of renewal and care. Westall Park is strongly focused on ecological principles and to that end native trees and shrubs will be randomly planted around the park to create a mixture of wooded areas and open glades connected by a network of picturesque paths.

There are no headstones at Westall Park, plots can be marked instead with an optional wooden plaque. Visitors are encouraged to plant wild flowers in the grave areas to enhance the existing flower meadow. Free from unnecessary regimentation, Westall Park will eventually become a woodland glade, full of nature where all wild creatures are encouraged to thrive.
