Memorial Options In keeping with the woodland, and the principles that we abide by, graves may be marked by wooden posts, which will, in time, gradually blend back into the surroundings. Alternately, families may choose to leave a grave unmarked, Please do not hesitate to contact us for advice and information on the following memorial options:
	1) Bird - bat boxes In order to encourage wildlife, families have been keen to work with us at our original site in Colney and our second park in Epping to provide nesting sites. At Chiltern Woodland Burial Park there are many places in the woodland for bird/bat boxes, and families are welcome to choose this form of memorialisation for their loved ones. The price includes the purchase of a chosen box, attaching to the tree, and annual inspection, cleaning and maintenance for 5 years. 2) Memorial posts The memorial posts that are available to order from Chiltern Woodland Burial Park are made of solid English Oak and the price includes a simple etched message. Families may commission their own memorials if they choose, providing these adhere to our approved specifications (see memorial regulations). Details of recommended woodcarvers are provided below: 3) Book of Remembrance An entry in the Book of Remembrance will provide a beautiful and long lasting memorial to families and friends. Everyone will be welcome to have an entry in the book, even if the person being remembered has been cremated, or buried elsewhere.
