The Sustainability Centre

Located in East Meon, Hampshire and set in 55 acres of woodland, The Sustainability Centre offers a natural burial ground for those wishing to have a Green (woodland) burial. The natural burial ground is managed and worked to ensure a rich bio-diversity, encouraging wildlife including owls, badgers, raptors and stoats.

The native woodland, created by the planting of memorial trees, has become a lasting tribute to those who rest here.
