Woodland Burials & Funerals

In response to London’s growing population and lack of space for new cemeteries, mature forests on the outskirts of the city are being developed as natural burial parks for woodland burials and woodland funerals. Closest to us in North London, there are carefully managed forests in Colney, Epping Forest and the Chiltern Hills.

Forestry experts choose the gravesites so that they don’t disturb the primary root system of the tree. They also predict how the future growth of the tree will allow other graves around it. At a reasonable price, you buy a single or double plot, or reserve an entire area under one tree for your family for the future.

Every natural burial site we have used also has an indoor space which can be used not only at the funeral itself but also in the future. This can be convenient in winter months and inclement weather. For a future anniversary or memorial event, you can visit the grave and organise your own music and food in comfort.

Reserving the area next to a new grave for future burial of coffins or ashes is much easier to achieve with newly opened grounds than in long-established urban or suburban cemeteries which have less space.

Levertons took care of my dad’s funeral arrangements recently. They literally took care of everything & everyone. Special mention must go to Julie Avery who was the funeral director who looked after us. Nothing was too much trouble for Julie. She went above & beyond to help us sort the perfect funeral for my wonderful dad & in a relatively short space of time. Thank you does not go far enough to show how much we appreciate everything that was done to make a sad time run as smoothly as possible. I would highly recommend Levertons to anyone.

So incredibly efficient, they took all the stress out of a very difficult and sad situation. Michael Cooney was absolutely brilliant as were the rest of the team. The price was very competitive and I can’t thank Leverton’s enough!!! Not once was I under any pressure thanks to them. Can’t thank you enough Michael, and your entire team

I can highly recommend Leverton. They are both very professional, sympathetic and supportive. They handled my darling Mum's funeral with dignity, grace and most importantly kindness and understanding. Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you very much.

Leverton & Sons funeral directors were extremely supportive, friendly, and totally professional. They went above and beyond in all respects, and I can't recommend them highly enough.

Throughout the process for my Uncles funeral, Lorna and the team were amazing. Having never organised a funeral, let alone for someone who didn't have a will or specific wishes, Lorna walked me through the process excellently, and the team on the day were extremely professional too.
