Exclusive Rights of Burial will be prepared and issued, indicating an initial period of ownership of 50 years. Unlike traditional graves, this period is not significant, as the growing trees will prevent the grave being reused and the burial will remain undisturbed forever as part of the natural woodland.

The woodland burial area will be managed for the benefit of wildlife. This entails approximately three grass mowings each year to promote various kinds of wild flowers.

Graves may be reserved by applying to the Springwood Cemetery Office.

The grave will be prepared to a single depth and two graves, adjoining each other, are available for partners. Following an interment, sufficient time will be permitted to allow the settlement of the grave before a tree is planted.

There is a selection of ecological coffins available.
