Natural Burial Open Day

The Natural Burial Company is holding an open day at its Scraptoft site on Sunday 14th September.  Natural burial sites are maintained as areas of natural beauty and wildlife whilst also being a peaceful final resting place - an ideal alternative to traditional cemeteries.

Feel free to come along and take a look around the site.  Our experienced staff will be on hand to answer any questions.

Call Mary on 0116 222 0247 for further information.
