Custodian - Andrea Chanter

Our local representative at Henley is Andrea Chanter (Andy).

Andy is a retired pharmacist who lives in a Chiltern’s hilltop village close to Henley with her husband, two dogs and four goats! She and her husband manage their own ancient woodland for conservation. She is very supportive of natural burials and cares as much for our families as the land itself.

Please contact Andy if you would like to be accompanied on a visit to the burial ground; she can also suggest a good local funeral director in tune with your needs and give advice and guidance for anyone thinking of planning a woodland burial.

Henley Woodland Burial Ground won the Good Funeral Award's 'Cemetery of the Year' award in 2013.

Andy's dedication to changing peoples' funeral experiences for the better prompted many of the families who she has supported to nominate the natural burial ground.

Is the burial ground suitably maintained and managed?
"Yes - especially Andy Chanter who cares so deeply about the ground and the families."

"Thank you so much for showing us round last week, the site is perfect, exactly as we hoped it would be, and you were so informative, we were very moved by the whole experience."
