My mother is at peace here, very beautiful place!
Quite the most peaceful place I have ever visited.
My Grand Sons ashes, are in Clayton Wood,under a young Beech Tree, which is a young tree, but growing beautifully. I would like to ask when are more Trees going to be planted in the wood,As Clayton Wood has become my second home, I am very interested as to what is happening,I have always found,Tegue and Karen, to be so kind and helpful in all ways ,nothing seems to be any trouble,no matter how many times I keep asking questions,and calling them out of there office.
I have two close relatives buried here. It's an amazing setting and looks so different season to season. It arguably has some of the most desirable views of the South Downs and although trains do go past, it's not an issue. I've been to regular cemeteries, which seem to invite gloom and impose somber moods. Clayton Wood doesn't. The open grounds, the trees, stream and so on, together with the South Downs (including the windmill) make it a relaxing place to be. Which is exactly what you want really, as it makes visiting that much easier and I think that's kind of the point. If you want to pay your respects to someone and visit their grave, it helps that you don't see concrete everywhere, but instead surrounded by nature. It's nice to be able to pair an unhappy moment (the death of a loved one) with a good location like Clayton Woods. For me, I think of the neighbouring woods, the trees in the grounds and the massive hills (downs) surrounding it, when I think of my brother and father who are buried there. In doing this, Clayton Woods have swapped sadness for beauty and it makes me smile to think of those two in such a wonderful setting.
Bad experience with clayton wood. We buried our baby boy there and one of the main reason's we chose clayton wood was because it stated in they're advertisement that we could have a tree planted in his memory to not only visit him and his grave but to also see, what would of been our son's tree,develop and grow above his grave in his memory and eventually see it develop into a new woods. But in fact this wasn't the case and was told they are cuttting back on the amount of tree's planted due to local trust policies. We also booked his funeral well in advance to have his wooden plaque on the day but it was not there and had to wait weeks longer than the agreed date to be told it was a mistake on our behalf. Also they do not have any involvement nor are willing to help with any part of the funeral after several attempts which i found highly insensitive and slightly offensive in our hour of need. Overall i found they're staff highly unhelpful, unwilling, and insensitive considering the circustances and had the impression that this was just a business to them and not helping someone bury they're 1 week old son.
