Westall Park Information
When you arrive please drive all the way down the long drive to find the car park. If you need the toilets however, these are by the office by the park entrance so please go before driving further into the park.
Westall Park is one of the UK’s finest natural burial grounds and aims to create a place that people will want to visit, not out of a sense of duty, but from the pleasure and peace of mind it can evoke. Westall Park has created an eco-friendly cemetery as a place for quiet reflection in an informal setting amongst trees, wild flowers and wildlife. Eventually it will become a woodland glade, full of nature where all wildlife is encouraged to thrive.

Dresscode
Jennifer was keen for her funeral to be a joyful and celebratory occasion – so as far as is possible no black please. She really wanted it to be a colourful affair.
You will of course be outdoors so please dress up warmly and with sturdy shoes – the grave location is on a slight slope which can get muddy when it rains.
The Jinney Ring Craft Centre
You are invited to join Jennifer’s family at the Jinney Ring craft centre after the ceremony at Westall Park. A life-long crafter – it seemed like the perfect place!
Address: Hanbury Rd, Hanbury, Bromsgrove B60 4BU
Donation Information
If you wish to do something in Jennifer’s memory, please consider donations to St Richard’s Hospice and Acorn’s Children’s Hospice.

You were the grandma I never had while growing up. The grandma everyone wants. The most amazing great grandma to our girls.
You taught me things that James and I still live by.
I will miss your kindness, your advice, your honesty, your naughty laugh, and your wicked sense of humour.
I am forever grateful you are in my heart.
Grandma, I hope you know how loved you are.
