NNLS is a member of the Jewish Joint Burial Society ( JJBS) to which a compulsory fee (£62 per adult) is payable for all Jewish members in addition to your synagogue subscription. This will entitle a member, after 6 months of membership, to a burial at the Western Cemetery Cheshunt.
Non-Jewish partners are also able to be members of the JJBS scheme if they wish to but this is not compulsory. The scheme allows mixed faith couples to be buried together in a double depth grave in either the Woodland or Lawn sections of the Cemetery.
The Woodland Cemetery allows members to choose to be buried in an environmentally-friendly way, in a beautiful natural environment, surrounded by newly planted trees. The burial can include a coffin made from plain wood, bamboo or wicker, all which decompose naturally. If you wish, the grave can be marked with a small flat gravestone which is intended to sink into the ground over the years. There is an additional one-off fee of £2,550 for a double depth grave in the Woodland Cemetery.
The Lawn section provides a green alternative with graves being marked by a simple upright stone. There is no additional fee for the Lawn section.
You can find out more about Woodland Burial here .
