We are absolutely delighted to have been recognised with a Regional (Runner Up) Award at The People’s Awards at The Natural Death Centre (Association of Natural Burial Grounds).
These awards are different to any other kind of assessment of green cemeteries, they are not about how sustainable each site is, the facilities that are available or the way the land is managed; the People’s Awards are all about the people involved, the level of service they provide, the personal touches and the impact that each natural burial ground manager has made on the families of those who they have helped to bury.
The Code of Conduct of the Association of Natural Burial Grounds requires members to provide families arranging funerals with them an opportunity to complete a NDC Feedback Form which is returned directly to the Natural Death Centre headquarters. They receive dozens of these forms every week, the vast majority praising the burial grounds and the people involved. Any concerns or complaints are instantly responded to and reported back to the ANBG member concerned.Each year forms received from families who had funerals at one of the ANBG member sites during the previous year are scrutinised by the trustees and staff of the NDC. The results are logged and analysed, and after many hours of work, a winner and a close runner up in each of the eight qualifying regions across the UK were identified.
If you have contributed to our award by sending feedback about Humber Woodland we are really grateful.
We send our Congratulations to all winners!
