The OC Podcast

In this episode of the OC Podcast, we talk to celebrant and Pembrokeshire Natural Burial Ground owner Sarah Wickham about the benefits of natural burial.
Natural burial – sometimes called woodland burial – is rapidly growing in popularity as we become more environmentally aware. Not only are these types of burials good for the planet, they also offer a more serene and personalised space in which to say goodbye, celebrate and remember a life.
Here, Sarah talks about her own journey towards becoming a burial ground custodian and highlights the many benefits of choosing natural burial, both from an environmental and a ceremonial point of view. She reflects on what makes outdoor funerals at these sites so special and advises how you can find out more when considering this option for yourself or a loved one.
