Testimonials

"I attended a dear friend's funeral at Chiltern Woodland Burial Park yesterday and thought it one of the most beautiful and tranquil resting places I have ever seen".
"Friends and family who attend were moved by the fitting service, music, setting and thoughtful touches, and some have already said its the place where they would like to finally rest"
"We would like to make a personal thank you to the office staff who turned out in front of the office as my wife’s hearse drove by. She was a secretary / P.A. and typist in the old days and would have appreciated the gesture. It was noted and positively commented upon."
"It was / is so lovely. It made a sad time a more uplifting time. All the people at the funeral came to the interment and many took away brochures."
"I would like to express my gratitude for such professional support you gave me, at the end of a very sad day"
"We have received nothing but compliments from family and friends, which I now pass on to you. It was a job well done and I thank you from the bottom of my heart."
"I would like to thank you and your colleagues for all the help and support that has been given to me during this very difficult time"
"All the relatives and friends attending the funeral were tremendously appreciative of the ambience, setting and dignity of this place."
"My friend and I were most impressed with the reception and the helpful advice given on our earlier visit. It was a pleasant experience and put our minds to ease to be able to prepare for the future."
"With the Chiltern Woodland I feel it's full of life. I feel at peace, and love to see where my father is lying, he would be so happy where he is. I can hear him say "Good choice, I couldn't have chosen a better resting place".'
"Your kindness and thoughtfulness has been greatly appreciated. Despite the sadness of the day, the occasion was peaceful and a fitting way for us to lay our father to rest. The setting was lovely and very tranquil; and in keeping with what our dad would have wanted."
"We appreciate the efficient and caring service you provided and are pleased we chose such a beautiful and blissful place"
"I wanted to deeply thank you for a beautiful ceremony at Epping, everyone was so helpful. All the guests commented on how stunning the burial park and buildings were. We felt the day could not have gone more smoothly nor could we have chosen somewhere more beautiful, serene, peaceful and appropriate."
"Some people who attended the funeral will probably choose it themselves they were so touched by the whole ceremony and burial."
"My mother had wanted to be buried in a woodland cemetery. Chiltern Woodland Burial Park was local and had just opened - she saw it and chose her plot."

"Just what we were looking for - natural woodland."
"Beautiful, peaceful, perfect. The staff are wonderful - professional, caring and charming."
"I attended the baby loss service and I felt compelled to write and tell you what a huge comfort it was. My husband and I thought the service had been planned so thoughtfully; the music and the readings that were chosen were perfect. Added to this, we were so touched by your attention to detail, the thought and care that had been put into these, is a huge mark of respect for our loss. The staff present on the day were as attentive, professional and sensitive as we have always found them to be. Thank you for doing such a...
"Thank you so much for all the help and courtesy we received for this special day. The service was perfect, in the most perfect place. You have all done your job magnificently.

"May I express my appreciation to all the staff of Epping Forest Burial Park, for all your kindness and consideration, and especially your mark of respect when my husband passed your office - this touched me more than I can express."
"I don't know how to thank you for the very efficient way in which you dealt with the purchase of the plot after my husband had died, even though I had been visiting for over a year. The day will remain in my memory - "the nicest funeral ever" was a remark made. I bless the day I read your small advertisment, my husband suffered for so long but it comforts me greatly that he lies in such a peaceful spot."
"Chiltern Woodland Burial Park is superbly managed. There is an on site grounds team that has the wildflowers etc at the centre of its plan. I would certainly recommend this place to others, with the great service of the staff and all their kindness, and all of the possibilities of choice."
"The beautiful weather helped I know, but it was the best funeral I have ever been to. It was so nice to have the wake in the same area, with the wonderful wooden buildings and very natural surroundings."

"To all at Colney Wood..... may I on behalf of all my family and myself thank you all for the welcome we receive when we visit, you are all so kind"
"Chiltern Woodland Burial Park is excellent. Trees, ground cover, all of which my late wife would have loved to see. I wanted my wife's ashes to be in a place where she would have been happy to walk. It was a simple, private occasion. I lowered the casket myself, in silence, with my daughter and husband present.

"Thank you so much for all that you do, every day to make it such a special place"
"Chiltern Woodland Burial Park is a beautiful, calm and reflective environment. Our funeral took place in challenging times, with so much snow. The woodland burial staff were brilliant at ensuring the service and burial went ahead as planned."
"We preferred the Chiltern Burial Park - it seemed quieter and more peaceful. Guests at the funeral said how lovely and peaceful it was. It was so much better than a service in a crematorium. And the staff at the Burial Park were very understanding and helped me personally."
"Many thanks for your kind attention during the whole process. I really feel that you have been more than happy to go that little bit extra to make the arrangements run smoothly"
"As the brochure says, 'it helps make a sad occasion more bearable.'. It is a peaceful, natural woodland setting."
"Myself and family with me were delighted we chose Colney Wood, it is such a beautiful and apt setting for a final resting place, where you really get the feeling that life goes on"
"The staff at Chiltern Woodland Burial Park are always helpful and eager to help. They tried to anticipate needs / queries - with great success! Altogether a good experience, and I intend to book for myself in advance!"
"My husband and I should like to thank all members of staff who helped with the funeral arrangements. We visited four times before the day of the funeral, nothing was too much trouble, and the guidance and advice we received meant that everything went smoothly. Everyone found the arrangements and service to be 'just right'. Please thank everyone on our behalf."
"Compared to the other ones we visited it seems so peaceful and uncluttered."
"The scattering was done with great dignity for which I say thank you. The two hour slot was great, it gave us all chance to relax on a truly memorable occasion"
"The funeral couldn't have been better, looking out from the hall at the woodland scene during the service is an amazing experience"
"Colney Wood is a lovely place, bringing solace and calm, we all look forward to returning to visit, these wonderful facilities make saying goodbye to loved ones a more meaningful and comforting experience"
"My wife heard a radio programme about it on the Sunday before she died - Definitely, exactly what she wanted, she declared. My son used the internet to find it. It meets all of my wife's needs, the facilities are excellent, and the architecture is very impressive and suitable."
"Everything was done beautifully and with such respect - you have a lovely, peaceful and fitting venue for so many people who have been bereaved, and all our guests were bowled over by the facilities, the wood and the help they were given by all your staff"
"How can I thank you for such a lovely day and spot for my mother. It was just right. Many, many thanks for arranging it so quickly and making the little ceremony among the trees so memorable"
"My son had wanted to be buried in a woodland in Buckinghamshire if he didn't beat his dreadful illness. There was, in my son's best friend's and my opinion, no need to look elsewhere. We were looked after with such sensitivity, and Fran Hall, the manager, was so caring and informative. We held the reception in the Burial Park so we could be with my son all day."
