Green Burial Service

Old Park Meadow Natural Burial Ground
& GreenAcres Epping Forest

Secure Haven Funeral Directors works closely with Old Park Meadow Natural Burial Ground in Dunmow, Chelmsford and GreenAcres Epping Forest, to provide a service within the beautiful surroundings of natural burial grounds.

Old Park Meadow Lodge is a stunning wood and glass building, purposefully designed to hold funeral services and to allow families to honour the life of their loved one. Old Park Meadow located on 34 acres of former farmland has a landscape which now consists of a variety of grasses, trees and wildflowers that offer the perfect setting for a natural burial.

GreenAres Epping Forest provides a tranquil and beautiful environment, set amidst acres of glorious woodland, this landscape will be sustained, enhanced and preserved for future generations. The service halls have a unique ambience; a perfect combination of music and lighting, surrounded by a beautiful natural environment. This special place can be uplifting, even at a time of great sadness.

Our Green burial service includes the following:

  • Removal from home, care home, hospice or hospital during office hours, within a 20 miles radius of our Broomfield, Chelmsford premises.
  • Dressing and preparation of your loved one.
  • Private viewing in our Chapel of Rest, during office hours.
  • Provision of a eco-friendly willow coffin.
