“ in May 2014, our son Simon lost his battle with cancer, and it was a very difficult time for my wife and I. We knew what the outcome of his illness was going to be and had thought for some time about a final resting place for him. We felt that a burial at Norton Disney Big Wood was most appropriate, a quiet resting place in a clearing within mature woodland. I have to say how pleased we were with our decision, because all the staff at Hill Holt were fantastic. They looked after everything for us, helped us to choose a plot, and liased with the funeral directors. The burial was sensitively undertaken and nothing was too much trouble. We discussed and agreed the post funeral catering arrangements with them and this was held  at their centre at Hill Holt. Many of our friends and family were attending this type of burial for the first time, and the Hill Holt Environmental Social Enterprise was unknown…..after the burial we had so many of them say what a wonderful and peaceful place it was. We are able to visit the clearing at any reasonable time, and it is a joy to see the changing seasons at this wonderful place. We take comfort in the belief that we have given Simon what he would have wanted .”
