Atlantic Rest Natural Burial - Bude

19/12/2025

This afternoon some of our residents have been caring and sharing 🤗

You may notice that when you visit - your loved one’s grave may look a little different…please don’t be worried by this.

It is no exact science in preparing the ground for a new resident to move in; so sometimes after a while when residents have ‘settled in’, it may be necessary to lower the soil mound a little, and it may be necessary to top someone up.

This is also part in preparation for tree planting in the woodland area. So, if you visit and wonder what’s happened, please don’t panic - hopefully this will explain it all.

We aren’t finished yet so there is more work to be done.

We are just taking care of everyone for you all.
❤️♥️💖💙💗💜💞🖤💚🧡🤎🤍🩷🩶🩵

* EDITED *

Due to the rough weather conditions - all plaques that were on the head of recent resting spots, have now been moved to the foot of the grave.

This is a temporary measure; they will be back where they should be, once it is time to fix them in place.

* Tom has fixed the toilet door so that one is now useable again.

** The road closure signs are out on the main A39 junction but the road is passable with care. The diversion route is also useable. Either way - you can still visit Penlow 🩶

Please see update in the post above ⬆️⬆️

🚧 R O A D • C L O S U R E • N O T I C E 🚧

MONDAY 8th - FRIDAY 12th December (24 hours a day).

There will be a section of road closed in Woolley next week; this will make visits to Penlow difficult.

You can still gain access by using the Eastcott road; but please be aware that this is a tiny road that will be busy, and is pretty rough with few passing places.

The road may well be open sooner than Friday but we don’t know that for sure. I will post any updates here if there are any.

💙💙Double Day 💙💙

Not only was it reunion day for Peter - being reunited with his love Susan; but it was also his first birthday beyond this earthly world 🌍

Safely tucked in with love by your family; now you too can rest under the rowan tree, soaking up the surroundings that you held so dear.

Welcome to your forever home Peter 💙

🌅 A new sunset for Sue 🌅

Today we welcomed Sue to her new home. She had a gorgeous sunny day for this time of year - which I gather was very fitting for her. We heard tales of joy for this much loved, kind hearted lady who was always happy to be looking after her friends and family💖

May you have peaceful adventures in your new found home; with your extended Penlow family 🌳

Now that the sun is setting so early; we are forced to reduce our burial hours slightly.

We need to ensure the safety of staff whilst tucking in your loved ones, with the light fading fast now.

This is a process that we treat with the utmost care; rushing this isn’t an option that we are willing to choose.

Burial hours will extend again in the Spring when we are nearer to returning to British Summer Time.

Thank you for your understanding 🌿
