Thoulstone Park Natural Burial Ground

A natural alternative to traditional cemeteries and crematoria, the Thoulstone Park Natural Burial Ground offers a peaceful resting place within the park’s beautiful wildflower meadow. Here, nature thrives, wildflowers bloom, birds sing, and sheep graze, creating a gentle, living landscape for reflection and remembrance.

What is natural burial?

Natural burial allows the body or ashes to return to the earth in the simplest way, using a biodegradable coffin, casket, or shroud, free from embalming chemicals or plastic linings.

Instead of rows of headstones and mown lawns, the burial ground remains a wildflower meadow, evolving with the seasons and supporting local wildlife. 

Families have the freedom to create a farewell that feels right, whether that’s gathering around the graveside to share stories, bringing a beloved pet, enjoying tea and cake at the Pavilion café, arriving on a vintage tractor, or raising a toast in their honour.

Who manages the burial ground?

The burial ground is managed by Leedam, a family-run company based in Monmouth and a leading specialist in natural burials. Leedam partners with estates, community groups, and farmers to create and care for burial grounds that blend conservation with meaningful memorial spaces. Their mission is to give people the opportunity to reconnect with nature, both in life and in death.
