Sad but lovely
Well first of all it was a lovely sunny day and my children and I were able to scatter my husbands ashes
on our own. It was a sad occasion but lovely, and the fields of marguerites made it even better as my husband loved them. He is resting in the best place.
The staff were brilliant and efficient throughout.

It wasnt a problem, especially as in keeping with the whole natural site but the pathway is muddy, if it's rained, so would recommend waterproof footwear.
Tess and the team were so very kind, supportive and helpful throughout our whole experience from initial advice, right through to the celebrating of Dad's life. They listened well and everything was very personal. The team went out of their way to help us carry out a very personal service. The site itself is very peaceful, which helps in the circumstances.
