Mayfields Woodland Burial Ground

07/07/2025

Last Wednesday, we marked a truly special moment as we officially opened Fur-Ever Loved – our beautiful new pet memorial garden at Mayfields Woodland Burial Ground.

Joined by families, including those of Paddy, our beloved Mayfield cat, we shared stories, memories, and heartfelt words led by our celebrant. Together, we honoured the cherished companions who brought so much love into our lives.
This peaceful space has been created with care and compassion by our incredible team, offering a dedicated sanctuary to remember your much-loved pets.

💚 Come and visit Fur-Ever Loved – a place where paws have truly left prints on our hearts.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who joined us for last week's memorial service. It was a truly beautiful evening, one that reminded us of the strength and comfort that comes from coming together.

A very special thank you goes to Margaret Anne Harrison, who so generously officiated the service. Margaret always goes above and beyond, volunteering her time and offering unwavering dedication to these events. We are so grateful for her compassion and commitment.

Our sincere thanks also to Love, Jasmine, whose presence meant a great deal. Their continued support for some of our families is deeply appreciated, and it was an honour to have such special people with us.

We were also pleased to welcome Kylie from Dignity Funeral Care and her colleagues. It was lovely to see them supporting their families through such a tender time. Aftercare and ongoing support mean so much to us, and it’s reassuring to know others share in that commitment.

Thank you again to all who attended and helped make the evening so meaningful. Together, we continue to remember, support, and heal.

Working closely with nature and the environment connects us in so many ways, not just to one another!

Thank you for welcoming us with open arms!

Nature thrives when we protect it, together.
At Mayfields, our grasslands are left to grow as part of our dedication to wildlife conservation. But as the temperature rises, so does the risk of wildfires.

To help protect our precious environment and keep visitors safe, please:
🌿 Take your rubbish home or bin it
🌿 Ensure ci******es are properly extinguished
🌿 Recycle glass safely and responsibly, and ensure no glass items are left on memorials.

If you notice smoke or fire, call 999 and notify our team immediately.

Thank you for helping us keep Mayfields a safe and peaceful place for people and wildlife alike. 🌱

You know how important the environment is to us at Mayfields, that's why we will be attending the Cool Heswall event this weekend. Refreshments, activities and community spirit, what more could we ask for?

Cool Heswall is free to attend and will be full of Wirral residents who care about nature and the climate, just like us.

If you see our friendly team around the event, please stop and say Hello!

We're looking forward to being at Cool Heswall on Saturday with our crafts and plant stall!

There's always plenty to see and do at this event. You'll find lots of local groups who are involved with local climate action so it's a great chance to have a chat about the ways you can get involved or make positive changes at home or in your work place.
