Photographs are of the forest, the reception hall and non-denominational/multi-faith Chapel. There is an altar cross and an organ if wanted, both are only brought out for you if you choose to make use of them. A hi-tech music system allows you to have your own pieces of music or you can access their library. Each family is given two hours for their goodbyes - so no one need feel rushed. There is also a reception hall where your congregation can have refreshments afterwards. Staff driven buggies gently take you to the graveside as the hearse drives ahead. Some people choose to walk to the graveside following the service - it is entirely up to you. The ground between each tree within the forest is blanketed by bluebells in the Spring. I was privileged to have taken a beautiful and moving service here - it is so spiritual you can almost touch the atmosphere of peace, perfect peace for your loved one - and the staff are FANTASTIC.

North Weald, Epping
Epping Forest Woodland Burial Park is now open and visitors are welcome to discover more about our unique and award-winning concept that has been so successful at our original Burial Park in Norfolk.

“We are totally committed to maintaining the woodland as an area of natural beauty for generations to come.”

The principles on which Epping Forest Woodland Burial Park was founded are those of care – care for the deceased, care for bereaved families and friends, care for the environment, and care for the community.

They aim to surpass the desires and expectations of all whom they serve, offering a completely new alternative to the conventional burial and cremation choices for the people of Essex, North London, and the surrounding areas. Their values are those of respect and integrity, and are totally committed to maintaining the woodland as an area of natural beauty for generations to come, while at the same time enhancing the experience of the celebration of life for families who have been bereaved.They provide a true experience of Green Burial, which is inclusive for people from all backgrounds, welcoming people of all faiths and none, and providing choice of graves for full burials and ash interments, as well as the opportunity to scatter ashes amongst the beautiful ancient woodland.
