Fenns Meadow Green Burial Ground, also known as Shropshire Green Burials is a peaceful, family-run natural burial site set in the heart of the North Shropshire countryside, just outside Whitchurch. Established in 2008 by James and Emma Blantern, the burial ground reflects a commitment to simplicity, respect, and care for the natural landscape.
Set within gently rolling meadowland overlooking views that extend across the English–Welsh border, this site provides a tranquil environment for natural burials and ashes interment. Fenns Meadow offers burial plots, interment of ashes, and scattering of ashes in woodland areas, giving families meaningful options to honour their loved ones in ways that feel personal and respectful.
The burial ground emphasises environmental integrity: burials are conducted without traditional headstones, and biodegradable coffins, shrouds, or urns are required to support the return of the body to the earth. Simple stone plaques, lying flush with the ground, are available to mark plots while keeping the site looking natural and undisturbed.
Fenns Meadow is more than a resting place — it is a living meadow where wildflowers, grassland, and newly planted trees flourish, creating habitat for wildlife and encouraging biodiversity. Visitors are welcome daily during daylight hours to reflect, remember, and spend time in a quiet, natural setting.
Open to religious and non-religious services, the team can work with local funeral directors and celebrants to support families throughout planning and burial arrangements.
