Northumberland Woodland Burial & Crematorium

Northumberland Woodland Burial & Crematorium located in the heart of Northumberland N.W.B.

Northumbrian Woodland Burials is located at Bockenfield Wood, near the village of Felton, in rural Northumberland. Part of a former World War 2 RAF base, planning consent was given for change of use of the land into a woodland burial ground and 16,000 trees were subsequently planted to lay the footprint of the site. Made up of a mix of indigenous Northumbrian broad leaf trees these are now starting to mature nicely after early losses from hares, rabbit and rodents. Despite its rural location the site has excellent road links directly off the A1 and the area is fairly level making access easy for all. is a small, independent, family run concern and is not affiliated or connected to any councils, religions or other large corporate organisations.

December marks 10 years since myself and Scott took over the Woodland Burial Ground and October will be our 3 year anniversary for our crematorium opening. You can read about our journey in this months The Northumbrian. We discuss everything from the design of the crematorium to the services we offer and the reason we introduced our woodland herd of goats. We are really proud of how the site is today and have loved watching it flourish and grow over the last decade into a place of ‘peace, beauty, spitfires and goats’

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to all members of the Royal Air Force and our community for joining us at Sunday’s Battle of Britain Memorial Service. Your presence honoured the bravery and sacrifice of “The Few” and ensured their legacy continues to be remembered with the dignity and respect it deserves.

Together, we paid tribute not only to those who fought so valiantly in our skies, but also to all who served and supported on the ground. Your support and participation made the service a fitting and moving commemoration.

Thank you for standing with us in remembrance.

With thanks to Michael Donkin for his photography.
