About the Cemetery
The Cemetery opened in 2010 as a new cemetery and has since been extensively improved and remodelled with an additional £1.7M spent on it during 2022/23.
The cemetery is a large open space benefiting from its lovely rural setting. It aims to work in harmony with nature and enhance the environment in which it exists. There is a natural burial area containing grassed and meadowlands with natural wildflowers growing and buzzing with pollinators, together with more traditional lawned burial grounds.
There is a separate Muslim Burial area, a baby area and lots of other interesting places to wander around, explore and maybe lease a memorial item to remember a loved one.
There is a lovely rose garden area as you enter the cemetery on foot, a laid pathway takes you from here towards the Woodland Walk which will lead you around the cemetery finishing in the Memory Garden.
As you wander through the areas you will first see ornamental spiral wicker fencing where you can purchase a memorial and place a plaque to remember someone dear to you, then into the extended rose garden and ornamental Coppices where cremated remains can be laid to rest within.
The Peace Garden is next with its calming water feature contained within limestone walling and landscaped boarders, a lovely place to sit quietly. As you wander along the Woodland Walk you will see characters appealing to children and making the walk interesting.
You will pass the Pet Garden where the ashes of a cherished furry friend can be scattered and around the Natural burial areas and meadowlands. At the rear of the cemetery are ponds which are home to an array of insects and animals/birds. As you walk around the entirety of the Woodland Walk you will finish at the Memory Garden. Here you can post a letter to a loved one, or again sit and enjoy what is around you.
There is a Colton steel mulberry tree here were again there is an opportunity to lease a lovely memorial item such as an engraved leaf of your choosing at a reasonable cost. Other areas exist and are equally attractive to discover and enjoy. People who visit like to walk around looking and finding their own favourite spot.
