Woodland Burial Company – Granville’s Wood

The Woodland Burial Company offers bespoke green burial and ash interment options within tranquil woodland settings, providing an alternative to traditional cemeteries that places nature, legacy, and personal choice at its heart. Their burial ground is Granville’s Wood, a peaceful wooded site near Chesterfield in Derbyshire, where families can choose a dedicated plot — from single and double spaces to family-sized “nooks” — and tailor their farewell to reflect personal wishes and values.

At Woodland Burial Company, the focus is on creating lasting, private resting places where you can return to remember and reflect in a calm, natural environment. Loved ones can be buried or have their ashes interred among the trees, and there are options to plant a tree as part of a memorial. Plots are visited on foot at any time, 365 days a year, and families are encouraged to walk the woodland with a team member to find the spot that feels right before arrangements are made.

The team behind the Woodland Burial Company is small and personal, meaning you’ll work with familiar faces throughout the planning process. They are also flexible in working with your chosen funeral director and provide guidance to support your decisions.

Ecological stewardship is central to their ethos. Their woodland is managed to develop naturally, encouraging native species of plants and wildlife to thrive, while also restoring land that was previously used for other purposes. In partnership with environmental initiatives, they plant additional trees with every burial or interment, extending their positive impact beyond the woodland itself.

Whether families choose traditional woodland burials, ash interments, tree planting, or personalised memorial options, The Woodland Burial Company aims to offer a respectful, nature-focused alternative that supports both those who are grieving and the natural world.
