SOUTH DOWNS BURIAL SITE
The site is situated 2 miles south of the unspoilt village of East Meon, at the head of the Meon Valley, with the South Downs Way running along the northern boundary, a former conifer plantation on part of HMS Mercury. The area is being restored to a diverse, broadleaf woodland. It is being cleared systematically leaving the existing beech, yew, whitebeam and silver birch, creating woodland glades and hazel coppices. The burial site itself is situated on a south facing slope next to a fifty acre sheep pasture. Both the burial ground and sheep pasture are surrounded on all sides by woodland, providing a distant view as well as shelter, giving a sense of stillness and seclusion.
To preserve the natural surroundings, we do not permit headstones or other permanent grave-side memorials. The precise location of each burial is carefully plotted and recorded, using a system of trig-points across the site. A Book of Remembrance provides a whole page dedicated to the loved one with personal details, messages or photographs. Within the centre building there are rooms available for services; there is also a restaurant area where mourners can meet before and after the funeral.
