Woodland burial is being increasingly seen as an alternative to traditional burial and cremation. Compared with traditional burial, woodland burial makes a positive contribution to the environment. Compared to cremation, woodland burial does not pollute the atmosphere nor does it waste fossil fuels.
Quite simply woodland burial means people can be part of preserving our precious wildlife and natural heritage for generations to come, while giving those who are left behind a pleasant place to visit for reflection.
The concept of woodland burial is that the deceased, or their cremated remains, is interred into the ground and the area is planted with trees, shrubs and flowers. We do not offer memorial headstones, but small discreet stone tablets are available to serve as a physical memorial. Plots can be chosen from Purbeck View or woodland sections.

A woodland burial can be arranged directly with Harbour View, through any office of Tapper Funeral Service (www.tapperfuneralservice.co.uk) or through other funeral directors. There will be very few rules about the funeral itself, it may be religious or secular, any idea will be considered to personalise the service. Whatever the family's wishes, we will do our utmost to accommodate them and guide you through the arrangements.
