Bath Natural Burial Meadow

We chose the Midford for the burial of our Dad as we were interested in a sustainable option. Sally, the owner, was very kind and supportive when we visited. The meadow is a lovely peaceful spot with good views of the Valley. Choosing Midford for a burial means you are helping to preserve the area, which is something Dad would have liked.Sally was happy to talk through different ideas for the kind of event we might have. In the end it was a simple burial with about 40 people attending. Everyone agreed it was a very peaceful and gentle way to do it.

I had a lovely walk around the meadow with Sally (the custodian) before being treated to cake with Janet. It was lovely to hear all about the meadow and the farm and how special the natural burial ground is to those who created it and care for it. The orchard is beautiful and full of apples and it was great to see the sheep mowing the meadow too (Luna also thought this was fantastic as she loves watching sheep). It is such a wonderful place and standing under the large oak surrounded by nature you really do get a chance to stop, reflect and take a moment. Its a very peaceful and beautiful resting place and the views from meadow are just stunning.
