A recent BBC report has highlighted a growing concern: council taxes and local fees are making traditional burial plots increasingly unaffordable. For many families, the cost of a grave now exceeds £5,000 not including the funeral service.
Why the Rise?
Local authorities are facing budget pressures, and cemetery maintenance costs are rising. As a result, fees are passed on to grieving families who often have little time or energy to shop around.
The Alternative: Natural Burial Grounds
Private natural burial grounds offer a more transparent alternative. At Inspired Meadows, for example, we offer long-term ownership, a single payment, and a peaceful setting without additional council fees.
Our plots are secured for 999 years, giving families peace of mind that their chosen place of rest is permanent.
Planning Ahead = Saving Later
Buying a plot in advance locks in today’s price and avoids future tax rises. More importantly, it gives your family clarity when the time comes.
