2 NATURAL BURIAL:

Here, you're not buried in a churchyard, but a field, forest or another wild piece of land. If you have a coffin, it's likely to be made from cardboard, or another biodegradable material, or you can just be buried in a shroud. Some of the practical benefits include a lower cost (a natural burial costs around £1,150, a traditional one closer to £5,000) and it's also kinder to the environment.

"When you talk to people about this type of burial, a positive feeling comes through that we don't see with traditional burial," says Professor Davies. "People like that they will be surrounded by trees, birds and animals. It feels like ending up in a place full of life and activity rather than a cemetery which is as dry as dust."
