Park Rules
This private 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 plants to be planted, or structures placed on or around the graves without permission.

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.
|
| • |
No containers are to be used 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.
|
| • |
Epping Forest 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.
|
| • |
You are welcome to bring Christmas Wreaths made of natural products eg. holly and ivy. These will be left on the grave until the twelfth night and then removed by Epping Forest Burial Park staff.

Planting Policy
| • |
As Epping Forest Burial Park is newly established we are not yet undertaking planting in the woodland. Over the coming years we will be harvesting seedlings from the existing and emerging flowers, enabling us to offer families locally sourced species to plant on and around graves. In the meantime we have wooden vases available for families to place on graves for cut flowers to be placed in memory of their loved ones.
|
| • |
To safeguard the appearance of the woodland, we are unable to permit cuddly toys, ornaments or photographs to be left on graves.
