About Holly Barrow Columbarium

At Holly Barrow Columbarium, we champion sustainable and meaningful end-of-life practices. Nestling in the hillside of a Kentish valley in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and situated within a serene natural burial ground, we offer a tranquil space for the interment of ashes, blending environmental consciousness with heartfelt remembrance.

Our mission is to preserve nature through green funeral practices, ensuring minimal ecological impact. By promoting natural, cost-effective options and encouraging families to celebrate life in harmony with nature, we aim to set a new standard for eco-friendly memorials.

Inside Holly Barrow, 400 handcrafted niches have been lovingly created for the interment of ashes. Traditionally, niches are left open but they can also be personalised to reflect the interests and life of the deceased.

The sacred space that Holly Barrow occupies in a meadow below an ancient Norman Church is like no other. Once part of the deserted medieval village of Dode, it is a place of stories, focus and reflection, a tiny place but one that is precious in history. Ashes from any faith, or no faith can be laid to rest here.

Holly Barrow reflects our commitment to honouring loved ones while protecting the planet for future generations.
