Leedam Natural Burials

We operate 10 natural burial grounds across the UK, all set within beautiful unhurried, countryside.

http://www.leedam.com/

We are passionate about changing people’s funeral experiences for the better and believe that the space, peace and comfort needed at such times can be found in a natural setting. A funeral at a natural burial ground is somehow gentler, more relaxed and less stressful. Expressing individuality at a funeral can be accommodated at a natural burial ground more easily than at a crematorium or local cemetery. In recent research by a big chain of funeral directors modern funerals are described as 'celebrations' but in our experience funerals are still funerals. Someone has died, and everyone feels pretty low but the scope for saying goodbye in your own way is enormous and this is where we can help. There is nothing we don't know about what is possible and/or allowed! Our natural burial grounds are rural places where the use of the land for burials is complementary to the traditional use of the land as pasture, meadow or woodland. They are real landscapes, not artificially landscaped parks.

🌿 Our very own Henley gravedigger, Jonny, is once again in the spotlight!

In a heartfelt piece by The Guardian, Jonny shares what it truly means to care for families, the land, and the natural resting places we create here at Henley-on-Thames Natural Burial Ground, a role he approaches with deep compassion, respect and pride.

From personal touches at each burial to his belief in the beauty of returning to nature, this feature gives a meaningful glimpse into a profession few understand.

People say my job must make me morbid, but I think the opposite is true, I truly appreciate life

Year End Reflection 🌿

As the year draws to a close, we’ve been taking a moment to pause and reflect on the lives remembered, the families supported, and the land that continues to quietly do what it has always done: hold, heal, and renew.

This year, we’ve witnessed moments of d love, grief, reflection, and peace. Every farewell entrusted to Leedam has been a reminder that remembrance doesn’t have to be hurried or heavy; it can be gentle, personal, and grounded in nature.

We’re grateful to the families who chose a natural burial, not just as an end, but as a meaningful continuation, giving back to the land, protecting green spaces, and creating places of lasting memory.

As we step into a new year, our hope remains the same:
to offer calm in difficult moments,
to care for the land with intention,
and to honour life in its most natural form.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us. 🤍

On the shortest day of the year, the landscape feels still, grounded and full of quiet beauty.

The winter solstice reminds us that even in the dark, there is promise, light will soon return, day by day. 🌿✨

As the year begins to slow, many people find comfort in visiting the places where their loved ones rest. 🌿 ❄️

If you’re coming to one of our grounds over the winter, you’re welcome to bring a warm drink, take your time and simply be.

Our burial grounds are places where families can return to reconnect, reflect and find peace. 🍃

Grief is a journey that looks different for everyone.

This National Grief Awareness Week, we’re thinking about the people we’ve lost, and the many ways we continue to carry them with us.

Whether your grief is fresh or quietly woven into your everyday life, your feelings are valid, real and important.

You’re not alone. 🤍

Our Story

http://www.leedam.com/ We are passionate about the countryside and making funerals better. We believe that the space, peace and comfort needed at such times can be found in a natural setting. A funeral at a natural burial ground is somehow gentler, closer, and more real.

Our website offers years of diverse experiences, stories and guidance, which we hope will help you organise the day. Afterwards, our natural burial grounds are special, rural places where you can escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life - places of escape, away from it all. They are also managed sustanably, for the long-term, being grazed or cropped for hay or planted to establish new native woodland. They are real landscapes, part of our countryside. Modern funerals are often described as 'celebrations' but putting the ‘fun’ into funerals is not always apt. Someone has died, and the mood can be sombre; the need for ritual is deepset and gimmickery doesn’t feel right. However, the scope for honouring the person and saying goodbye in your own way is enormous and it can help to discover how others have approached the day.

Choosing natural burial is an unselfish act - generous restraint, which protects and preserves the land for future generations. It is also the most environmentally friendly way to deal with one’s remains, which is important in today’s unprecedented scale and pace of environmental change.

Thank you.
