Epping Forest Woodland Park
As a Civil Celebrant I am regularly at the Woodland Park in Epping. I am privileged to work here, not only with our families, but with the dedicated management, office, and ground keeping staff. Nothing is too much trouble. The key is, caring people who understand and appreciate others.
Thank you for all you do.

Wonderful staff
We buried our son in the Epping Forest Park 16 years ago and the staff were exceptionally kind and wonderful. It is a beautiful place to visit him and when we have needed any assistance, the staff have continued to be kind, gentle and patient. Thank you for making a terrible situation a little more bearable.

Green Acres is an amazing place
I’m a celebrant who has conducted funerals there. The setting is tranquil, reflective and calm. The facilities and staff are wonderful.

Blessed to have this wonderful resting place
This was the second service/burial I'd arranged at Heatherley Park. A guest said it was the best funeral they'd ever been to, and although I put a lot of effort into the service, I feel the beautiful surroundings and service room played a part in making that happen. The staff are always amazingly supportive and have made several of my visits happy with their kindness and compassion. I've met some of the other bereaved families, and it feels like a lovely community there. I visit alone but never feel alone. We're so blessed to have this beautiful and special resting place on our doorstep - a place I've found to help immensely with the sadness of losing the most dearest family members ever. Thank you!

A natural setting to accept the end of a life
The setting is so peaceful and serene.
The chapel is designed so that you feel the service is in a beautiful woodland .A very different experience than being in a busy crematorium.

Amazing Service
Having worked within the funeral industry for over a decade as funeral director, I often visit the park on a weekly basis. The employees within the park grounds are absolutely exceptional and nothing is to much trouble.
All employees are polite, friendly and cannot do enough for you. However, a special mention must go to Emma Jacobs (service team) who has done nothing but support me in the industry as well as, going above and beyond her role.
The grounds within the park are truly remarkable, well kept and the chapel is accessible for all faiths and abilities.
I would recommend this venue to all my friends and family.
