We are thrilled that our gravedigger, Jonny Yaxley, has won this year's Gravedigger of the Year at the Good Funeral Awards.
Jonny works tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure our woodland burial ground at Henley (and now Aylesbury too) remains beautiful throughout the year - congratulations!
The press got pretty excited about the award too.
