10 Tips for Burial on Private Land

FUNERAL PLANNING...

In the UK it is not necessary to be buried at a local authority facility. Really?
That’s right. But so few such funeral ceremonies are carried out in the UK as it’s not widely known and varies from country to country. But it is relatively straight forward according to the Natural Death Centre. In fact burial on private land in the UK is free of the many legal considerations attributed to public burial. But it has to be considered carefully as a viable option.

Here are the TEN BASIC RULES and regulations for a burial on private land…
1) You (or the deceased) must have gotten written/documented permission from the land owner of the burial plot.

2) There are no by-laws or covenant restrictions in the land deeds that prohibit burial.

3) Take into account and check that the burial spot does not / will not be near public facilities such as water services. Check the council for the local permitted distances.

4) The depth of burial is deep enough to local rules… usually 1 meter of soil is required above the coffin lid.

5) Register the death and burial site & date with the local Registrar of Birth & Deaths , usually at the local Town Hall offices.

6) Complete the ‘green form’ at time of burial and return to the same Registrar.

7) Seek Planning Permission if there is any change of use for a building or plot, i.e. you are constructing a burial memorial or shrine or a permanent nature.

8) Ensure you have the right equipment to dig the grave to the correct depth and location, making sure there are no issues below ground.

9) Consider how things could be affected should the burial land or property be sold on? For example, how would mourners or loved ones visit the grave on private land.

10) If it’s a public event on private land then maybe a mention to the local police might be a good idea so they are not called out to something that looks improper or suspicious!!

You may want to seek some advice from local Funeral Directors. But check with at least three as there is confusion or lack of knowledge in this topic as it is so rare.

Surely a much better experience for all involved.

Consider some of these ways to plan a cremation funeral service: Often people may create huge picture boards showing key moments of the dead person’s life.

Free trial - Environmentally Friendly Funeral Choices

Online funeral service: How you say the last goodbye is as individual as how you are. Our aim at Funerals to die for is to ensure that each funeral reflects your feelings as well as the life of the perished person, their culture, their personality and their achievements. The choice of funeral is of course yours. Increasingly people are considering “Eco” or ‘green’ funerals.

Eco friendly funerals are your final contribution to reducing the carbon footprint and a last chance to make a positive impact on the world you leave behind. However, there is debate within the “green” movement about what actually constitutes green or Eco friendly funerals.

It may surprise most people to know that green funerals can be much more affordable than conventional funerals. By discarding some of the unnecessary processes of conventional funerals and choosing earth friendly funeral products the cost of a funeral can be reduced. And of course will have less impact on the surroundings. Reducing the cost of a funeral also helps lessen the financial burden on loved ones.

It is possible that eco-friendly funeral arrangements can be made for any style of funeral. The easiest is replacing the traditional wood casket burial with a cardboard coffin. And these now come in many custom designs to help personalize the casket. They can be used for either burials or cremations.

You should also choose whether your eco-friendly funeral is to be buried or cremated. The green impact of either is still debated as to which is best, in fact each method has its own positive and negative points. For instance, cremation eliminates the use of toxic chemicals in the preservation of the body which eventually escape into the environment but can induce environmental damage in the smoke and toxins released into the air during cremation. Whereas ground burials are also a concern with the use of embalming fluids and using caskets which are made by non-biodegradable materials. The use of cement for headstones and burial chambers is considered non-green too. Be sure to research the options available for eco-friendly funerals as there are lots on offer these days. Eco funeral products are a thriving industry now.

Consider also whether or not to embalm. Although the embalming will not necessitate a sooner burial, it has some environmental impact. Be certain to check if the cemetery allows non embalmed remains – some don’t. Consider your burial chamber and headstone products as you may be able to avoid putting unnecessary cement into the ground. Call the local cemetery or crematorium for their guidelines.

One of the biggest growths in eco-friendly burials is the choice of casket products. It is still possible to go with a much simpler pine coffin but increasingly the recycled cardboard containers are popular. And these are often beautifully decorated or custom printed to a theme of your choice. For cremation, there are biodegradable urns available, as well as the rehashed paper spreaders. Often these are used in sea burial as they float beautifully on the water.

Also consider your requirements for funeral reef which have such a short useful purpose and can include non-eco materials. If mourners want to contribute with flowers and reefs encourage them to buy or make ‘green versions or donate the saved money to an eco charity.

Funeral planning - Different funeral services

Bereavement: Not many of us dare think about it but death is destined to every human being in this world. No one can escape from death. Therefore arranging funerals is also unavoidable. Funerals are a key cultural and practical element of most countries. The different people of these culture use different funeral ceremonies. Here just a few common funeral services across the globe.

In New Orleans they have a unique funeral service called the “Jazz Funeral” which follows old traditions of West Africa. They believe that the funeral service should be filled with the waking of the body and later followed by a church service and finally they walk to the cemetery. The music, singing and dancing go along with the procession to the cemetery. While walking to the cemetery the jazz musicians play spiritual songs. This helps to make the burial process a sacred experience. After laying the body in the ground the band plays upbeat jazz music to celebrate the deceased life. It becomes more joyous as the day progresses.

The Jews on the other hand, follow a different funeral service. They will immediately call the spiritual leader who is called as a Rabbi. He plans the funeral arrangements for the family. The deceased body is washed and dressed in white cloth before he is laid in a plain, pine box. Embalming is not followed among Jews. The burial is very quick after death. They honor the dead, guarding the body until and after burial and the recitation of psalms is read. During the funeral ceremony, prayers are read, followed by a eulogy and a memorial prayer. The Rabbi then closes coffin, it is lowered into the ground, and the family members throw dirt onto the coffin.

As a contract the elders in Cherokee culture (Native Americans) wash the dead cleanse away all earthly impurities. The body is scented with oil and lavender. According to their custom the body is wrapped with white cotton. It is then placed in a cedar coffin. An eagle feather is placed a top the deceased’s chest and the coffin closed. In Cherokee tradition the person is buried in the ground where they died - not so practical these days. And they have 7 days of mourning when no-one close is allowed to be angry.

In traditional Mongolian death ceremonies the deceased is dismembered by a Rogyapa, or body breaker. The body is left outside, well away from nearby occupied dwellings to be consumed by nature. To any westerners, this “funeral” will seem inhuman. Well, thankfully the Chinese outlawed this practice after taking control of Mongolia in the 1950′s. However to Buddhist thinking, it makes perfect sense as they regard the deceased body as worthless after their spirit has left. It is better providing nourishment to the local birds and animals. And they say practically that in remote places it is too hard to dig a grave in rock and very little precious fuel for a cremation!

So these are just a few examples of cultural attitudes to funeral ceremonies and burial.
