Re: woodland burials

I think it sounds rather nice. Doug is right about the contamination of waterways etc. It is not illegal to bury someone wherever you choose but there are rules to be followed in order to inform people etc, therefore some sites would never be acceptable. We have guidelines for people wanting to bury babies, and it is acceptable for them to be buried in the parent's garden (a fact that the local police found quite shocking). As long as the burial is of a measured depth, does not interfere with waterways and any future buyers of the house must be informed of the burial. There are several other points which must be adhered to but it is legal.
