About us

Alne Wood Park is a natural burial ground owned by the Heart of England Forest.

The burial ground provides a biodiverse environment encouraging wildlife both within the burial ground itself and in the surrounding woodland. 

The site is open for burials of local and non-local residents, regardless of their beliefs and religions. Burials can be conducted between 10am and 3pm. With no more than one burial per day, families have time to conduct funerals without pressure to leave.

After a funeral, over the next few months, the grave-site will be levelled as it settles and subsequently planted with a special blend of wildflower and grass seed that matches existing species from the site. At this point a small subtle stone or wood plaque can be purchased. This allows memorialisation but balances it with maintaining the natural look and feel of the site. 

As Association of Natural Burial Grounds members, we are committed to their code-of-conduct and are also looking to develop best practice in-line with guidance for a green funeral. In addition, the manager of Alne Wood Park is a member of both the Institute of Cemetery and Crematorium Management and also the Good Funeral Guild. 

About the role

We are seeking a compassionate and organised individual to join as our Alne Wood Park Coordinator.  

In this role, you will be involved in building a trusted relationship with a variety of stakeholders including site users, funeral directors and celebrants. You will approach matters sensitively and use your exceptional communication skills to support users arranging funerals, liaising with the other professions involved to ensure that funerary operations are undertaken to the highest possible standards.  You will be responsible for maintaining accurate plot records, submitting statutory documentation and responding to enquires.

This is a fulfilling role, and your passion for natural burials will be evident when you promote Alne Wood Park Natural Burial Ground through a range of marketing campaigns, attending events and public engagement activities.

The Heart of England Forest is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and vulnerable adults. Applicants must be willing to undergo protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and a DBS disclosure.
