Brief description

"The Green Burial Meadow provides a nature-rich, informal environment and an ecological option for burials in Tavistock. The area is managed as a hay meadow and is mown in high summer to benefit pollinating insects and allow wildflowers to set seed.  The Friends of the Green Burial Meadow contribute to the management of the site by sowing wildflower seeds, planting and raking.  The Green Burial Meadow has achieved ‘Outstanding’ for the last two years in the South West in Bloom It’s Your Neighbourhood awards."
