Leedam Natural Burials

Leedam Natural Burials We operate 10 natural burial grounds across the UK, all set within beautiful unhurried, countryside.

We are passionate about changing people’s funeral experiences for the better and believe that the space, peace and comfort needed at such times can be found in a natural setting. A funeral at a natural burial ground is somehow gentler, more relaxed and less stressful. Expressing individuality at a funeral can be accommodated at a natural burial ground more easily than at a

crematorium or local cemetery. In recent research by a big chain of funeral directors modern funerals are described as 'celebrations' but in our experience funerals are still funerals. Someone has died, and everyone feels pretty low but the scope for saying goodbye in your own way is enormous and this is where we can help. There is nothing we don't know about what is possible and/or allowed! Our natural burial grounds are rural places where the use of the land for burials is complementary to the traditional use of the land as pasture, meadow or woodland. They are real landscapes, not artificially landscaped parks.

Today is World Environment Day 🌍

Natural burial is about more than creating a place of remembrance. It's about caring for the land, encouraging biodiversity, and protecting natural spaces for future generations.

From wildflower meadows and pollinators to native grasses and wildlife, our burial grounds are managed with nature in mind, allowing the landscape to flourish alongside the memories held there.

Today is World Bee Day 🐝

Natural burial grounds are more than peaceful resting places - they become living landscapes filled with wildflowers, pollinators, birds, and wildlife.

By protecting natural spaces, we help create habitats where bees and biodiversity can thrive for generations to come.

Over the years, we’ve been asked many thoughtful and practical things about natural burial. From clothing and personal items to who can be buried here, these questions often come from people simply wanting to understand their options.

This carousel shares some of the most common questions we receive.

Talking about these things may feel unfamiliar, but gentle conversations can help bring clarity and reassurance for the people we love.

If you’d like to start thinking about your own wishes, our simple guide can help you write them down in your own words, at your own pace.

Because when we talk about it, we make it easier for those we leave behind.

Where would you feel most at peace?

For some, it’s by the sea.
For others, it’s in the countryside, surrounded by trees, birdsong and open skies.

During Dying Matters Awareness Week, we’re encouraging gentle conversations about the things that matter most, including where and how we’d like to be remembered.

These conversations can feel difficult at first, but they can also bring comfort and clarity to the people we love.

Have you ever thought about the kind of place you would choose?

Dying Matters Awareness Week encourages open conversations about death, dying and grief, something many of us find difficult to talk about, but which can make a real difference for the people we love.

Taking time to share our wishes can help families feel reassured that they are honouring what matters most. It can be as simple as talking about the kind of farewell you’d like, the music you love, or the place where you’d feel most at peace.

To help make these conversations a little easier, we’ve created a simple, calm planning pack, a booklet designed to help you reflect and write down what’s important, in your own words, at your own pace.

Sometimes the easiest way to start the conversation is simply by beginning with your own thoughts.

🌿 If you’d like a copy of our planning pack, please get in touch.
