The Irish Times is reporting the popularity of a new eco-friendly cemetery.
The Woodbrook Natural Burial Ground is located in a remote spot near the Blackstairs Mountains between the villages of Kiltealy and Killanne in Co Wexford.
At an “open day” on Saturday, visitors toured the new burial ground. It offers an alternative to traditional cemeteries for people of all religions and none, who want to be buried in a graveyard which doubles as a wildlife haven.
Headstones and plastic wreaths are banned, there are “no manicured lawns”. Graves will be marked by the planting of a tree and a simple, optional stone or wooden marker, said Colin McAteer, owner of the Green Graveyard Company.
