Facilities Burial Options Colney Woodland Burial Park offers plots for burial, and the interment and scattering of ashes. These may be purchased in advance, as part of funeral planning, or by the bereaved at the time of need. We welcome people of all beliefs and denominations, and host dignified and respectful services, both religious and secular. We are happy to explain all the options available to you and prices are in literature we send out. We aim to accommodate the wishes of the deceased, their families and friends. At Colney Woodland Burial Park, your purchase will be inclusive of: • Secure lease until 2099, thereafter the woodland will revert to its natural state. • Significant contribution to the Trust for development and maintenance of woodland. • Use of Park facilities such as buggies for those with limited mobility. • A securely fenced site. • Use of Park for families to visit. • No extra charge if non-resident of Norfolk. • No extra charge for placing a memorial, other than the cost of the memorial itself. • Trained staff, committed to a compassionate, caring and personalised service. Your price is fixed - whether paid in an at-need or pre-need situation, no further charges will be incurred at Colney Woodland Burial Park except for grave preparation, memorials and other services such as the Service Hall, or any other funeral costs. Buildings
	The Buildings were completed by early 2003 and officially opened by Simon Weston OBE, who gained much respect for his strength, attitude to life and power of forgiveness since suffering horrific injuries during the Falklands War. Built of modular timber construction, the buildings are designed to complement the environment and natural woodland setting. The buildings are constructed using renewable timbers from managed woodlands, reflecting the ethos of environmentally friendly woodland burial in a mature woodland site. The buildings and the functions that they fulfil are an essential part of the Colney Concept, signposting significant steps on the journey through the Park. The Gathering Hall The Gathering Hall provides a meeting point for the bereaved family and friends before and after the ceremony. Refreshments can be offered, ample WC facilities are available and the needs of the disabled are fully supported. The Woodland Hall A circular courtyard hidden by a living hazel "wall" links this to the Woodland Hall, which in turn provides the venue for the funeral service. The rounded shape of the building together with the panoramic views of the woodland give a calm, intimate feeling, making it suitable for both small and large funerals. Up to 130 people can sit comfortably and enjoy high quality sound and voice reproduction. We have also included a loop for the hard of hearing. The circular design of the buildings is based around a unique reciprocal frame with a spiral roof beam arrangement, creating a clear span structure of considerable elegance. Built of predominantly natural materials from sustainable sources, the buildings’ simple beauty offers a spiritually uplifting experience, highly appropriate for their purpose. They reflect our commitment to providing a place of natural beauty, the perfect environment for remembrance, meditation and quiet contemplation. At Colney Wood Burial Park we do not hurry families, allowing up to two hours for each service. This provides a relaxed and pressure-free experience without the disturbance of another funeral arriving. We also welcome families who have chosen an alternative location for the burial or cremation but want to use our buildings for their service or ceremony.
