Understanding and friendly service. Gave us time to choose the right area for us to scatter my wife’s ashes and say goodbye to her.

Clayton Wood...Beautiful natural burial ground under the South Downs
To find such a lovely place for Mum & Dad's ashes to be interred was great.
A huge thankyou to Tess for all her kindness, time, support and advice as she went above and beyond. There was an issue with the engraving on the plaque when it arrived and Tess offered to drive to Hampshire at the weekend to pick up a replacement plaque. In the end the engraver delivered it but the fact Tess was prepared to do this is amazing.
I know my parents are in the perfect place and my thanks to everyone that work at Clayton Wood.

The wonder of Clayton and its staff.
In difficult times, the staff at Clayton look after you and ensure that the laying to rest of a loved one is as good an experience as it could be. The ground itself is a lovely location, restful and peaceful. There is no better place for a loved one to be laid to rest.
