Opened in 2026, Primrose Wood Natural Burial Ground, near Lavenham is situated between Little Waldingfield and Milden villages, where people can be laid to rest in a developing broadleaved woodland. Natural burials provide the greenest alternative to a traditional burial and a spiritual place where nature will flourish.

People often choose a green burial because they see death as a source of life and view the body as a gift to the earth to nurture new life – trees, flowers and wildlife – rather than something to be disposed of. There is no such thing as an unkempt grave in a natural burial ground - nature ‘looks after’ the grave.

Natural burials or the interment of ashes is open to people of all faiths or none. We accommodate different customs and ceremonies as long as they respect the natural ethos of the growing woodland.

You can pre-purchase a single or double plot for future use, offering peace of mind and helping to plan ahead with care. Or simply get in touch in time of need.

We can also offer our beautiful Tudor Barn for a service or post-funeral gathering for a celebration of life - and accommodation before or after the event.

Primrose Wood is managed by our family farm team who have lived here for over 200 years. If you’d like to find out more, register interest, or simply have a chat, please contact us - we’d love to hear from you.
