GREENACRES REBRAND

GreenAcres Cemeteries and Ceremonial Parks are excited to announce that they are updating their brand to GreenAcres Living Memorial Parks. For the last two decades GreenAcres have created beautiful, natural spaces in British woodlands and landscapes that help people come to terms with life after loss, these parks are quite literally memorial destinations that are alive.  Their Parks provide space to heal, remember, and connect with nature.

The new brand reflects their commitment to nurturing the natural environment to enable more people to live with loss more easily. While their look and feel may be refreshed, families and funeral professionals can be assured that their parks continue to offer the same prestigious services that many have come to know and trust.

The website has been redesigned with spectacular photography and videos to allow people to experience the tranquil spaces teeming with richly diverse flora and fauna before they visit: www.greenacresgroup.co.uk

Whilst you can take a virtual walk through their sunny glades, technology cannot replace actually visiting a GreenAcres Living Memorial Park to breathe in the sweet aroma of blossoms, and feel the gentle meadow breeze on your skin.

Managing Director Christopher Koller said: ‘Bereavement isn’t an easy battle to survive, and we want to reach more families across the UK. People’s personal journey with grief is so much more than the day of the funeral. Our parks are designed for the living to provide space to reflect and continue the memory of those who have died. Families tell us how much hope we have given them by providing them opportunity to create modern rituals and establish helpful habits of remembrance. Our aim is to help people live with loss more easily in our natural and comforting places, having designed our parks as destinations families want to visit.’ 

Supporting families through the journey of loss and participating in the local community are core values at GreenAcres. GreenAcres organise a variety of events throughout the year as well as hosting regular monthly Bereavement Cafés held in every Park for all families regardless of whether they have been customers. The GreenAcres Bereavement Cafés provide kind and supportive spaces where individuals can find understanding and connection with others who are living life after loss. For more information about the Bereavement Cafés and other events, please visit greenacresgroup.co.uk/support-resources/events/

At a time when the cost of living, land scarcity, changes to planning regulations, a need for greater regulation, are just some of the factors impacting families and the sector more widely,  GreenAcres rebrand is an output, not an outcome.  The rebrand re-confirms its commitment to helping the nation constructively evolve its approach to bereavement. This signals much to come from this organisation and how it supports families, facilitates conversations about death and dying with local organisations, authorities, and government.
