Lindsey Clements

The staff here are AMAZING and very helpful it’s so peaceful and beautiful here and you are able to bring your dog to visit your loved ones resting place so very unique. It’s so much nicer then cemeteries that are crammed with far too many graves. Herongate is beautiful and once full goes to national trust woodland to return to natural habitat. Highly recommend herongate wood and Adam Greenwood and Sons funeral directors to everyone.

Beautiful philosophy. I am mad about trees. There is no timeline here. Family plots bought in Lewisham were only valid for 30 years – and cost more than these which are for perpetuity..

We went over to Herongate Wood Cemetery yesterday with my children and family to plant some plants under the tree we have for my husband Nigel who we lost a year ago. It is lovely and peaceful over there. Well looked after and staff are very helpful if you need them. We had the service held there last year through Adam and Greenwood funeral directors in Billericay. The staff were very helpful and caring would recommend them.

A beautiful and peaceful place to lay loved ones. They cover all different arrangements and help to take some of the stress of losing a loved one away.

Dave Taylor

We buried our daughter there ten years ago, and we received excellent service. Its a lovely place to visit, it was never too morbid to bring our other children to, and its fantastic to see how the wood is now becoming established.
My only gripe is that I think that the management should be stricter on the planting permitted on graves. Too many look like miniature gardens or shrines, which somewhat undermines the ethos of a green burial ground.

Great staff. lovely place. They really looked after my old Mum when Dad died, she was treated with dignity, respect and kindness by all members of staff who went out of their way to ensure everything went as required.
