There are now several woodland burial grounds in Shropshire. The environment of a green burial ground is kept as wild and as natural as possible with memorials and headstones generally not permitted, but often memorial trees can be planted to mark a grave.

Pughs Funeral Directors are recommended by the The Natural Death Centre for their flexible, transparent and accommodating service who have either been recommended by members of the public for their outstanding service and have confirmed that they provide a stand alone bespoke funeral or are funeral directors who have been known to the The Natural Death Centre for many years for there service.

The Natural Death Centre is a registered charity who provides information and advice on green funerals and burial grounds throughout the country.

 Here in Shropshire there are four green burial grounds which are all very unique.

South Shropshire Remembrance Park is situated in Hope Dale, near Church Stretton, is an area renowned for its natural beauty and historic past. The park’s mature woodland and open spaces offer a scenic and artistic environment with unrivalled views along the Wenlock Edge and to the Stretton Hills.

Westhope Church Meadow Green Burial Ground is hidden away in the South Shropshire hills near Craven Arms and since 1997 it has been used as a location for green burials. Being set in an orchard, it is well stocked with traditional varieties of apple trees, it is also grazed by a flock of rare breed sheep. Early on in the year it is a real picture with the snowdrops and daffodils flowering, followed by the the apple blossom. There is a small service chapel within the grounds which can be used for religous or non religous services. Areas are set aside for ashes to be scattered or buried. You can visit Westhope at any time and the chapel can be opened on request.

 Ludford Park Meadow of Remembrance, Ludlow, Shropshire  is a peaceful wildflower meadow, within walking distance of Ludlow town centre. It is managed as a hay meadow, with cutting at least twice a year in mid July when many of the seeds will have already dropped and again in late autumn. In the fullness of time The Shropshire Wildlife Trust will take over the care and management of the meadow, ensuring it will remain a green space for people and wildlife in perpetuity. In June 2009, their botanist found 56 species of wildflowers and grasses within the meadow. Ludford Park Meadow of Remembrance provides a dignified, secure, everlasting place of rest with choices of burial plots, cremation plots or areas for scattering of ashes.

Fenns Meadow Green Burial Ground, Whitchurch, Shropshire  is part of Alkington Grange Farm, which has been farmed by the Blantern family for 3 generations.

Fenns Meadow is positioned on high ground, facing a North Westerly direction, perfect for watching the beautiful sunsets that regularly occur. The views from the site stretch across to North Wales, Cheshire and Liverpool. The Llangollen Canal borders the western side of the farm.
