About the Trust

Bristol Memorial Woodland Trust was created for the development and protection of Memorial Woodlands and owns the topsoil of the site to the depth of one metre. The subsoil is sold freehold or leasehold to the purchaser of each plot, who then owns the rights to the first and any subsequent permitted interments.

Bristol Memorial Woodland Trust owns all the trees and shrubs on the site and is solely responsible for all the planting and maintenance. In line with its responsibilities the Trust has specified that, no turf may be removed and only permitted meadow and woodland bulbs and flowers may be planted, also, no vases, edgings, statuary or personal effects may be placed by graves, and all gravestones and benches may only be purchased from Bristol Memorial Woodlands Ltd..

N.B. The trust reserves the right to remove and dispose of any vases, edgings, statuary or personal effects left at a graveside.
