Epping Park
A prestigious 52-acre venue amidst woodland and parkland in Essex that’s perfect for services, pilgrimage and remembrance.
You’ll find things are different at a GreenAcres Living Memorial Park. Death is part of life, so we create beautiful, natural spaces in British woodlands and landscapes that help people come to terms with loss. You won’t find rows of headstones in our Parks. Instead, you’ll be uplifted by the power of nature and given the space you need to reconnect with loved ones.

Visit Us
Our Living Memorial Parks offer you a choice of memorials, a physical remembrance which serves as a lasting tribute to a person’s life, legacy and forever imprint.
We understand that every individual is unique. Whether or not your loved one has been laid to rest in one of our Parks, we provide a range of natural and unique options to create a fitting and personal memorial to help you live with loss more easily.
Living Memorial Tree
By planting a Living Memorial Tree, you create a heartfelt tribute to a life well lived. Beneath each tree lies a calming presence, where every leaf and branch serves as a poignant reminder of the person we hold dear. These trees enhance the landscape, transforming with each changing season, to offer visitors comfort and remind them that their memories will flourish within nature’s embrace.
A Living Memorial Tree is dedicated exclusively to your family and can accommodate ashes, burials, or a combination of both.
Tree Circle
Set amidst natural beauty, a memorial within a Tree Circle serves as a heartfelt tribute to a life well lived. A Tree Circle offers a shared resting place, where multiple families can connect through a single tree – fostering a sense of community. Blending into the landscape and changing with the seasons, a Tree Circle provides a reflective space for visitors, ensuring memories flourish within nature’s embrace.
Each plot within a Tree Circle accommodates burials, ashes, or a combination of both.
Living Memorial Bay
Bordered by natural logs or neatly trimmed hedges, a Living Memorial Bay serves as a timeless tribute to love and remembrance. Each bay offers a unique and dedicated space for families to connect with their loved ones. Set amidst peaceful woodlands and open meadows, each bay is thoughtfully designed to blend with the surroundings.
Ideal for those seeking a private space, a Living Memorial Bay is suitable for ashes, burials, or a combination of both.
