Aylesbury Vale Natural Burial Meadow

Wildlife bonanza in the Burial Meadow today including many tadpoles & a tiny frog donated by one of our pre-paying customers. Love the yellow wildflowers that have appeared by one of our Memorial Trees but donвҖҷt recognise the variety? Butterflies adore nettles - glad someone does Overjoyed to see the pair of wild ducks are still happy on the pond рҹҰҶ рҹҗё рҹҰӢ рҹҢјрҹҢірҹҚғ#mallardduck #wildducks #springtime #wildflowers #ponds #tadpoles #frog #butterfly #butterflies #smalltortoiseshellbutterfly #naturalburial #naturalburialground #greenburial #wildlifehabitat

Yesterday, one of our clients who pre-purchased a Burial plot from us in 2017 & who we are glad to say is still very much alive, planted a Purple Beech Tree in the Burial Meadow. Today she is undergoing a paired kidney exchange or kidney swap which is when a living kidney donor is incompatible with the recipient (in this case her sister), & therefore exchanges kidneys with another donor/recipient pair. Two live donor transplants = 2 lives saved. Hope all 4 operations go well today & get well soon everyone & here are a few images of the meadow to remind you of the lovely countryside you can visit when you are all out of hospital рҹҸҘ рҹҢірҹ’җрҹҚғ#kidneyswap #pairedkidneyexchange #kidneydonor #kidneytransplant #springtime #wildflowers #dandelions #cowslips #blossom #buttercups

Earlier this month, I viewed the 24/7 365 days a year cremation site sacred to Hindus on the shore of the River Ganges. Every day 150-200 cremations occur. What a contrast to our Natural Burial Meadow рҹҮ®рҹҮірҹҸҙу Ғ§у Ғўу ҒҘу Ғ®у Ғ§у ҒҝрҹҮ¬р ҹҮ§вҡ°пёҸвҡұпёҸрҹҢәрҹ”Ҙрҹҗ‘#varanasi #riverganges #ganges #cremation #naturalburial #naturalburialground #sacredganges #hinduism
