Wildflower meadow in Warblington Cemetery
Within the extension of Warblington Cemetery, opened in 2006
there is a “Natural Burial area” which is becoming increasingly
popular, and not just for burials. The wildflower meadow is in
flower with poppies, cornflower and other wild species.
Peter Armstrong, Havant Borough Council’s Cemeteries Manger,
said, “We are pleased to be able to offer the “green” option in a
rural setting. Wicker, bamboo, cardboard and unpolished pine
coffins burials have all taken place within this cemetery and we
are receiving a growing number of enquiries about this type of
burial. “
There is a wide range of choices of burial and ashes interments
within the borough of Havant, with friendly and knowledgeable staff
on site at Warblington and Waterlooville cemeteries to give helpful
advice. A Cemetery Information Pack has been produced to guide you
through what can be a very emotional time. Anyone wishing for a
copy can contact the Cemetery Service on 023 9244 6425 or email
