Westhope Green Natural Burial Ground, Craven Arms, Shropshire

Set against the backdrop of the Shropshire Hills in Craven Arms, Westhope Green Burial Grounds is an idyllic natural burial location. This green funeral space is situated in a heritage apple orchard which is grazed by rare breed Jacobs sheep.

In Spring the beautiful meadowland location site is carpeted with snowdrops and as time progresses the trees are decked with apple blossom.

This established natural burial ground was opened in 1997, and offers natural burial plots, combined burial and ashes plots and space for the interment of ashes. There also are designated areas of the grounds for ashes scattering.

Westhope Green Burial Grounds has its own pretty chapel which can be used for funeral services or as space for contemplation.

Eco friendly coffins, urns and shrouds must be used at green funerals held here. Families can participate in the burial by helping to dig and backfill the grave. Graves can be marked by timber plaques or a stone tablet.

Car parking is available on-site.
