Funerals with a Difference
Tarn Moor is not just a beautiful location for burial. Tarn Moor is about people. The concept of something different is thought provoking and encourage people to make plans about their own funerals.
The impression of a Woodland burial has often been that 'you have to be in a cardboard box and have a tree planted'. At Tarn Moor we pride ourselves on 'choice', whether it be location, casket, ceremony or involvement. So many people leave a funeral with us and say ' that was lovely'. There certainly is such a thing a 'A Good Funeral'. Simplicity is often the key, and being personal and appropriate is both satisfying and can help afterwards.
We are not just a burial ground that happens to plant trees, but have a long term Woodland management scheme in place, to produce a lovely place for families to visit for many generations to come.
It's good to talk and albeit a brave thing to discuss and organise, pre-planning your own funeral arrangements is very wise and people do feel comforted to know that they have done it.
Funerals at Tarn Moor range from being a committal following a 'traditional' funeral to a simple or full ceremony at the graveside. In short, as long as it's legal, dignified and respectful... anything goes!
