Michelle, who helped us through this sad time was kind, Caring and thoughtful, a true professional, Michelle’s professionalism meant so much to me and all my family, and all my family complimented Michelle and the Service saying how beautiful and Personal it was (being allowed to show photos of my mum on the walls was truely beautiful), it was very different to any cremation i had been too,
The surroundings are a beautiful resting place, and i would highly recommend.

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..

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.

On arrival at Herongate Wood for our very first time, we were quite taken aback by how wonderfully peaceful and tranquil the place is, the view for miles, the wildlife and the lovely duck pond all adding to its beauty.
The service we received has been exceptional throughout.
Julie made us feel very at ease at such a terribly sad time, with her professionalism, lovely manner, her compassion and understanding.
We can’t thank you enough for the wonderful send off you helped us give my darling mum. I can actually look back upon the day with an affection of knowing how beautiful it was, and that’s something I never expected to feel.

From a professional aspect as a Celebrant, I love working with the team here. Every time we’ve led a Funeral together, it’s done with warmth, compassion, perfection and attention to the smallest detail. A real privilege.

I am really thankful to Herongate Wood for the immense support they gave me and my family from start to finish during the funeral of my mum. On the day of the funeral I got let down by the organist I booked as I had a no show. The entire staff swung into action provided us with recorded hymns will could use and we didn’t even feel the absence of the organist. They were very supportive, very professional. I couldn’t ask for more. This is to say thank you very much to all the staff at Herongate Wood. God bless you for making a stressful time easy to get through.

It was a quiet and dignified time. We were given the choice of how much we wanted to participate and the whole thing was very moving

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.
