Why did you choose this burial ground? Recommended by relatives.
Is the burial ground what you expected? Exceeded expectations.
Would you recommend the burial ground to others? Yes
Could anything have been better? Wasn't too sure of where or how to scatter the ashes - all seemed before we went a little too informal, but we did a visit before the scattering and understood the arrangement much better - the informality is good.

Overall comments: Loved the setting. My mother (her ashes) would have approved!!

Truly a natural place which suited my brother's beliefs.
Is the burial ground what you expected? Better
Would you recommend the burial ground to others? Yes
Could anything have been better? Initially, I was confused as I thought Melissa was part of Mellerstain Estates.

Why did you choose the burial ground? Met my need for peace and permanence.
Is the burial ground what you expected? Yes. It's what I saw.
Would you recommend the burial ground to others? Yes
Could anything have been better? Only your grassland needs slightly better management. But I speak with the prejudice of an agricultural degree.
A wonderfully peaceful experience. And now I have a plot next to my son Harry. Be a happy party when we are together.

Why did you choose the burial ground? Specified by my late husband in his Co-op funeral plan.
Is the burial ground what you expected? Yes and more!
Would you recommend the burial ground to others? Yes
Could anything have been better? No - perfect
Smooth and seamless. Excellent and just what my husband had requested - including my local florist's bunches of flowers tied with natural rafia. If I should die here in the borders of Scotland this is where I would choose to be at rest.
Peaceful setting, beautiful views and kind staff helped make a sad day somewhat brighter.
I hope more families have the chance to put their loved ones in such places as graveyards are often abandoned or vandalised. Plain, simple and perfect.

Two burials there in the last two years - father-in-law followed by mother-in-law - both difficult and sad occasions but madde easier knowing they were being laid to rest in the place of their choosing. Very beautiful location.
