Colney Woodland Burial ParkPark Rules

This lovely park is for reflection and enjoyment. All visitors are welcome but please abide by the few regulations, laid down in order to protect its natural beauty and in respect for those who are laid to rest here.

  • Keep to the paths and do not stray or walk over marked burial sites.
  • Do not pick the wildflowers.
  • Keep children supervised at all times.
  • No skateboards, roller blades, bicycles or any motorised vehicle to enter the woodland, except for gaining access to the car park.
  • Please take your litter home with you. We request that any flowers brought for placing on graves are removed from their wrapping, enabling us to maintain the natural woodland.
  • Please keep dogs on short leads and clear up any mess they may make.
  • No structures placed on or around the graves without permission.
  • No smoking in the park.
  • No picnics or barbeques.
  • Cars parked at owners' risk. The management is unable to take responsibility for cars and their contents.

Thank you - we hope your visit brings you peace and enjoyment.

Cut Flowers Policy

  • Cut flowers may be left lying on the grave without any wrappings or ribbons. Where possible we ask that families consider bringing small bunches/posies of subtle colours.
  • Colney Woodland Burial Park staff will take away flowers as they deteriorate either through weather conditions or grazing by wildlife eg. rabbits, slugs and snails.
  • Funeral tributes are always accepted and left on the grave until they deteriorate for the same reasons as above.
  • No flowers or public access is allowed to the ash scattering area (Bluebell Wood). This is for health and safety reasons and to protect the bluebells.
  • No containers are to be placed on the grave ie. vases, jam jars, plastic bottles etc. These present a potential health and safety hazard in the woodland and compromise the overall look of the woodland. We are able to supply wooden vases which our staff can place below ground level for you. Please contact the office for details.
  • You are welcome to bring Christmas Wreaths made of natural products eg. holly and ivy. Alternatively these can be purchased from the office. These will be left on the grave until Twelfth Night and then removed by Colney Woodland Burial Park staff.

Planting Policy

  • Planting of Bristish wildflowers and plants is permitted on burial and ash interment plots, these are available to purchase from the office, alternatively they can be purchashed from all good garden centres and nurseries.
  • Bulbs are also available from the office during the winter months including snowdrops, bluebell and wild dafodils.
  • Where inappropriate plants are placed, Colney Woodland Burial Park will discuss this with families before the plants are removed.
  • To safeguard the appearance of the woodland, we are unable to permit cuddly toys or photographs.
