Beacons Park Natural Burial Ground is a serene and welcoming green burial site set in the beautiful surroundings of Merthyr Tydfil, with views stretching toward the Brecon Beacons National Park. It is a natural burial grounds in South Wales (Vale of Glamorgan), offering a peaceful, respectful alternative to traditional cemetery burials in a setting shaped by nature.
At Beacons Park, burials are conducted in an environmentally mindful manner, with the body laid to rest in biodegradable coffins or shrouds and graves designed to blend naturally with the landscape. This approach supports conservation of the land and encourages the return of wildflowers and native grasses, creating a calm, meadow-like environment that evolves with the seasons.
The site provides natural burial plots, interment of ashes, and scattering areas, allowing families to choose the option that feels right for their loved one. Each grave can accommodate two coffins, and the burial ground is open to people of all cultures, faiths, and beliefs — including those who prefer a non-religious farewell.
Beacons Park is managed with a focus on simplicity and sustainability, encouraging visitors to return, reflect, and remember in quiet surroundings that honour both life and the natural world.
