Outdoor Funerals

Outdoor Funeral Planning

With Nature

The concept of being at one with nature when we say our final goodbyes is becoming increasingly popular in the UK and, as a result, outdoor funerals have become far more commonplace.

For many, this takes the form of a natural burial, while others choose to hold a celebration of life ceremony in an outdoor location of their choice – perhaps in a woodland, field, garden, beach, or somewhere that held meaning for the deceased.

Many of our listed venues welcome outdoor funeral ceremonies, so you may wish to view our directory of outdoor venues to find the one that’s right for you. You can also search our supplier directory to find celebrants, marquees, florists and more.

Natural Burial

Alternatively, you may wish to explore the idea of having a natural burial at a woodland burial ground.

Natural burial is a completely natural form of burial or interment of ashes, supporting biodiversity and the development of green spaces. A natural burial ground could be the perfect option for those who are environmentally conscious or are looking for somewhere peaceful and beautiful to say goodbye and celebrate a life. Ceremonies at natural burial grounds usually take place outdoors, but many sites also provide indoor options if needed.

If you would like to find out more about natural burial and find a natural burial ground near you, please visit our sister site, the Natural Burial Alliance.
