Roy's funeral will be at 12 noon on Monday 25 November,
at Clandon Wood Natural Burial Ground, Epsom Road, West Clandon, Guildford GU4 7FN. https://www.clandonwood.com. RSVP - see details below.
As well as being a burial ground, Clandon Wood is a nature reserve with thirty-one acres of wildflower traditional meadowland, lakes, wetland, young woodland and an abundance of fauna. You will not see any vertical headstones, vases with wilting floral tributes or much evidence of other recent burials. In fact, if you hadn’t come to attend a funeral you would probably not even know you were in a cemetery.
Bearing in mind the naturalness of this special place and the fact that it is November, please come prepared. Wear flat shoes or boots, bring an umbrella and prepare to take some mud home with you if the weather is inclement. A motorised buggy is available for anyone with mobility issues.
Roy specially mentioned in his will that no one is to wear black at his funeral, so please come in your brightest colours. He was a happy person and we want to make his funeral a happy tribute to his memory.
If you wish to bring a floral tribute, we ask that you bring one single flower and nothing else – no oasis, no cellophane, no ribbons, no wires, no cards. Flowers are put into or on top of the grave and those on top are later removed at an appropriate time in order not to interfere with the natural flora of the site.
Can you please let Roger know if you are coming so that we can cater appropriately, but if you say you are not coming and then change your mind, we will still be very pleased to see you. Please pass these details to anyone who might be interested. (Click to email Roger,)
We hope to see you there – 12 noon, Monday 25 November, Clandon Wood.
RSVP
Roger and Anna
