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.

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.
