A few gentle questions can point you to the right options. You can speak to one of us at any point instead.

Artist's impression When our first woodland opens
An interactive map will let you:
- Explore the woodland and its different areas
- See available trees and plots, marked live, provisional or subject to confirmation
- Compare places near paths, meadows or quiet seating
- Find adjoining plots for couples and families
- Shortlist a favourite before you visit
Until then, one of us will describe each area and note your preferences.
Choose the tree that best reflects their life, and the words for the plaque that stands in front of it.

Memorial options
Ways to remember
Every option can be talked through with one of us, with no obligation.
Scattering of ashes
Ashes are scattered at your loved one's tree, within your family's own plot.
- Whenever you are ready, even years later
- Ashes kept at home for many years are welcome
- With or without a funeral director or celebrant
Memorials without ashes
A tree and plaque can be dedicated if ashes are unavailable, have already been scattered or are resting elsewhere.
- The same tree, plot and plaque as every memorial
- A dedication at the tree, as simple or as personal as you would like
Individual, couple and family plots
Individual, couple and adjoining family plots, which can be reserved together wherever space permits.

Not sure which is right for you?
A few gentle questions can point you to the right option, or one of us can talk it through with you.
Pet memorials
A place to remember a much-loved pet
Pets are family too. Eden Park will have a separate, dedicated area of the woodland for pet memorials, cared for with the same attention to detail as everywhere else.
Their own area
Quiet, separate and cared for
Pet memorials have their own area within the woodland, apart from the family memorial avenues and special remembrance areas. It will be kept to the same immaculate standard, with mown walkways and space to sit.
A place to visit on your own or with your family, and to remember a companion who was part of every day.
Whenever you are ready, we are here to help.
A real person will answer. There is never any obligation.
