×This article was published in the magazine of the Natural Death Centre, on alternatives gravestones and memorials which might sit better in natural burial grounds and woodlands than a traditional headstone or gravestone.
Below is an extract from the article:
"Choosing a natural burial can be the most wonderful option; the beauty of the landscape becomes the memorial and there is a reassuring feeling that the soul of the deceased is wholesomely integral to the environment. For many, however, when grieving, some sort of marker is needed as a focal point.......fortunately there are alternatives to the conventional headstones you see in cemeteries, here we hear from Fergus Wessel ......who specialises in hand-carved, alternative stone memorials. "

Fergus created Stoneletters Studio in 2003, after training at the Kindersley Workshop. He is a member of the prestigious Master Carver's Association.
