Imagine a beautiful place for your loved ones after you’ve gone

Whether you’re planning a funeral, memorial service, or simply choosing a final resting place, we are here to help you

Watch our video »

A Sacred Stones Barrow is a place where something significant happens.

Death turns into life, fear becomes reflection, loss transforms into stories and grief journeys to a place of peace.

Our carefully crafted barrows provide you with a place of beauty and tranquillity in the English countryside. Somewhere your life is celebrated, your ashes laid to rest, and your loved ones have time to reflect, heal and come to terms with their loss.

Who we are

The Barrows

Become a part of history and gallery of life

A barrow is one of the oldest funeral traditions in Britain. Built using natural stone and set into idyllic countrysides, a barrow provides a beautiful setting for a service and a peaceful resting place for cremated ashes. 

But, it offers much more than that. 

It’s a place where loved ones can understand their grief, accept their loss, celebrate your life and retell their stories. It’s a place of calm and tranquillity. It’s a place to gift your loved ones when you’ve gone.

Services at the barrows

Inside the barrows

An intimate place of true beauty

The barrows are warm places, full of natural radiance and life. As you and your loved ones step inside, candles guide you along limestone walls and the niches, under the corbelled beehive-like roof.

Inside each niche is the life of a person and the memories of a family. Outside each niche is their story, beautifully told through stone-carved coverings, hand-painted doors and stained glass windows. 

This isn’t a place of sorrow or sadness; it’s a gallery of life, memories and happiness.

Niches and niche coverings

Outside the barrows

A breathtaking place of natural charm

Our barrow locations are chosen based on their natural beauty, local significance and peaceful nature. They provide a beautiful setting for a service, a picturesque backdrop for a resting place, and a tranquil location for families to visit. 

From the moment you arrive and follow the standing stones leading the way, to when you approach the barrow and step into its embrace, the barrows are a journey to be experienced.

Our guardians

Putting you and your loved ones in caring hands

Every barrow has a guardian, and every guardian has a purpose. That purpose is to help you and your family through that little word with a big meaning: death. 

Whether you want to understand, question and plan every tiny detail or you want to have as little involvement as possible, your guardian is there to help you every step of the way. This may include helping to look after your loved ones when you’re no longer here, by supporting them through the journey of grief to a state of peace.

Our Open Days

“When I first visited Willow Row, I immediately fell in love with the whole experience. The setting is serene, secure and secluded. It is the perfect place for the placement of loved ones remains and unlike so many places, you are guaranteed those remains will be safe and you will be able to visit whenever you want. As an archaeologist I appreciate the nod to our past and our ancestors. Willow Row has been built with skill and love and that shows in the beautiful design. The thought that has gone into this special place was all the persuasion I needed to become a niche owner”.

Bob Smith, Secretary of the Fenland Archaeological Society

‘We placed the ashes on the most beautiful sunny spring day with the sound of birdsong outside, we all felt being in the barrow had a profound uplifting effect. The whole experience has been amazingly positive at a time when it could have been total sadness’

Barbara, Hertfordshire

‘The barrow, its shape, its natural stone, its location, instantly gave me the same feeling of the past being an essential part of the present, of our lives being a shared history. Of peace and calm and connection. And I am drawn to the barrow as a place of rest and pilgrimage for exactly those reasons.

Anna, Visitor to Willow Row

‘Willow Row Barrow is a sacred, magical and reflective place that’s perfect for creating lasting bonds after someone has died. It’s a resting place for ashes and usually lit by candles, but it’s also a place that’s full of life’.

Louise, London

‘When I walked into the barrow it was like coming home’.

Jean, Bishops Storford

‘Willow Row is a beautifully built Barrow with a lovely peaceful atmosphere. It is truly awe-inspiring inside, the stonework is stunning and a sense of peace permeates the place.’

Annette, Milton Keynes

‘I visited the barrow as a professional celebrant and was moved beyond words with the beauty and magnificence of this amazing structure. I was taken back to my childhood in Wiltshire which has some prehistoric barrows.’

Liz, St.Neots

‘Walking into the barrow is breath taking, the atmosphere is so very peaceful and warming, there are no words or imagery that can do this place justice, it’s something you have to experience for yourself to understand.’

Anna, Bedford
