Chiltern Park
A beautiful woodland setting for a funeral, whether you are choosing cremation or natural burial.
A woodland funeral at Chiltern Park
GreenAcres Chiltern Park is a natural burial ground, but you can also hold a funeral here if you have chosen cremation.
You can hold a complete funeral ceremony in the Woodland Hall, with the coffin present, and have the cremation take place afterwards at a crematorium.
If you would prefer a natural burial, the funeral can take place in the Woodland Hall before the burial in the grounds, or you can gather at the graveside.
The important distinction: there are no cremation facilities at GreenAcres Chiltern Park. If you've chosen cremation, the ceremony takes place here and GreenAcres arranges the coffin's transfer to a nearby crematorium.

A service at GreenAcres Chiltern Park
If you have chosen cremation, you can hold the funeral service at Chiltern Park rather than in a crematorium chapel.
The coffin can be present in the Woodland Hall for the ceremony, which can include music, readings, photographs and contributions from the people who knew the person who has died. A celebrant or faith leader can lead the service, or someone close to them can take part.
After the service, GreenAcres arranges for the coffin to be transferred to a nearby crematorium. The cremation takes place there, without another funeral service.
The perfect choice for anyone who likes the idea of a woodland funeral but wants a cremation rather than burial.
