Greenacres Chiltern

This old tree trunk has now become a beautiful feature in area C. Its a shame the tree didn't survive, as it would have been the biggest tree in the Park, rivalled only by the huge Oak in our ash scattering area.

This is our resident Crow. He pecks at the windows and digs earth out of our planters and makes a general nuisance of himself. He also spends a lot of time on the office roof, we have moments when we wonder if he'll come through our skylight windows.

Brambles are not the prettiest plant to look at and we certainly do have quite a lot of them but they do look lovely when ladden with blackberries.

We had this VW Camper Van Hearse at the Park the other week. Families go to great lengths to make a loved one's Funeral personal and special and this is a great example. Thank you to Kate at Volkswagon Funerals - https://bit.ly/2JTy5wC

Today we say farewell to Katherine Waite (Kate) as she embarks on an exciting new life in Somerset. Known as the 'dog-whisperer', Kate will be sorely missed by everyone in the Chiltern team and by our many families.

This is Rob, our Woodland Supervisor, receiving his certificate and badge for working at GreenAcres for 5 years. He is an integral part of the Park and responsible for seeing that the woodland stays looking natural yet kempt.

Why not just come and have a walk around our beautiful Woodland, we have plenty of lovely spots to sit and contemplate for a while.

With Wedding season in full swing, we have had the pleasure of seeing the Woodland Hall fully decorated, adding to it's natural splendour.

Our new Volunteer, Rosemary, took these amazing photos from around the Park. I'm sure there will be many more from her in the near future.

An interesting article from the Telegraph.

Thistles are possibly not the most desired flower to have in the garden but you can't deny they are quite beautiful. Spear Thistle and Marsh Thistle pictured.

It is our monthly coffee morning tomorrow. All are welcome for cake and a chat, so come along and join us from 10am - 12noon.

This Bracken seems slightly late to the party! The majority of the Bracken in the Park is now waist height or higher.

It's National Parks Week - so why not visit your local GreenAcres park for a gentle stroll and let us know what wildlife you can spot! We're always interested to hear about the animals our visitors have seen around the park. Image:hannahduffy.com

Kate, one of our Customer Service Advisors and an avid animal lover, doing her bit for the Bee's, feeding it sugar water.

We realise it's the middle of Summer and this is a photo of our Christmas Tree but it's surprising how much it's grown since Spring. The new growth is such a vibrant green.

The little things . . . We recently placed these logs around the chain on our Woodland Hall, they look stunning as people enter, with Wedding or Funeral flowers on them.

A beautiful feather from a Jay. We don't see Jay's around the Park very often but they are striking when they fly past with the bright blue colour on their wings.

We now sell jewellery and 'keep-sake' urns, both of which can hold a small amount of ashes, for those who would like to keep their loved ones close to them.

We have a very good friend of whom is buried here,and we visit as often as we can, my kids love the maze. We always have to come and have a relaxing walk . Whenever we drive passed my kids always shout hello.

We had a baby Thomas who pass away at 24wk still birth on 10th September 2016 Peter and staff was very helpful and always have time to talk to us plus they have nice carol services and other services all year .u can walk around plus have coffee and time to chill out gillian thorp

Such a beautiful, peaceful place. Perfect for my grandparents who took us to the woods all the time when we were young. I love visiting and the little'ens in the family enjoy it too. So so glad my mum found this place �

Peaceful, calming everything you would want

Our Daughter was married at GreenAcres in April. What an amazing place for a wedding. The woodland setting and the incredible Celebration Hall made for a truly unforgettable experience. The staff could not have been more helpful, if it was in their power to do something they would. Nothing was too much trouble and they went above and beyond to make the day special.

We had been struggling to find a venue that would accommodate a large (100 +) wedding party and chanced upon GreenAcres just after they were licensed for weddings, what a lucky find!

The woodland setting is utterly stunning with plenty of room for everyone, the tranquil walks are so inviting that at times we had difficulty getting everyone back for the photos.Nothing was rushed or hurried and the whole event went like well oiled clockwork.

We would like to thank Marissa and Tracy especially for their attention to detail and on the day, Craig and the ladies who served the nibbles and drinks.

My father and mother rest here - and I am so happy that I found this place. Every time I come here I rejoice that this is where I chose for them to rest and I love visiting thier plot and saying Hello.

Its the most beautiful,peaceful place so calming .We love coming to visit our dear little baby Alexander.All the staff are so lovely and friendly.Its just a wonderful place its so hard to describe how lovely.

It is such a beautiful, peaceful place and the staff helpful and friendly.

Every time I visit the Chiltern Burial Park I am blown away. My shoulders relax, I breathe that bit easier and I am taken aback by the beauty of the woodland, the tranquility of the resting places and the care and love that goes into making this park what it is - a haven for the resting soul. Thank you to all involved in making this place what it is :)

Chilterns Woodland Burial Park celebrates LIFE in all its forms. A truly beautiful place.

Beautiful place, home of tranquility laid my little angel to rest here and me and my family visit every week we love the place. #RIPTy

A place of blissful peace. A sanctuary where hearts can heal and be heard! Beautiful !

A lovely peaceful place where all members of staff have been very friendly and approachable. My 3 and 8 year old daughters love exploring the woodland whilst visiting their grandad , who we sadly lost last year. I'm glad we made the decision to lay my dad to rest here

A fitting place for a send off.
