Natural Memorials
To maintain the beautiful natural environment at Clayton Wood we offer a number of natural memorials instead of a traditional headstone.

Made from English oak, the plaques are available to order in two different sizes.

    Not sure why it has taken me nearly ten years to provide this review - but it is well deserved.

    We are a Funeral Directors located in Brighton & Hove and we have been conducting funerals at Clayton Wood ever since we started operating, since 2011. I am also a celebrant and I am always impressed with the venue, the surroundings, the tranquility and the staff, whenever I get the opportunity to attend Clayton Wood, from both perspectives, as a Funeral Director and as a Celebrant. You and your loved one, will always be in safe hands at Clayton Wood.

    As a celebrant I had the honour of leading an internment here recently and found the venue a very restful and special place. The staff were so helpful. The family all felt that it was a very lovely final resting place. Not being rushed to get through the ceremony made such a massive difference to how we all felt after. Thank you so much - I felt I could give my family the time they needed to say goodbye.
