It gave me a good feeling to have met with Herongate Wood and arranged my funeral in advance. I can now relax knowing that all of the arrangements and associated costs are taken care of, and that my loved ones will not have this burden to worry about. Thank you for looking after me and helping me to make the decisions that I have chosen. I shall be recommending you to my friends and family.

Tracy Bewers

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.

I recently laid my parents to rest at Herongate Wood and a difficult occasion was made so much easier by the kindness and understanding of all the staff, particularly Natasha. It is a beautiful site, peaceful and quiet. It is good to know that their resting place will be protected.

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.

Teresa Griffith

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..

5/5

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.

Linda Marion Cunningham

Perfect, beautiful, wonderful, thoughtful and caring are just some of the words said to me at our dads funeral. From start to finish it was unrushed, personal and truly unique. Thank you.
