A special place at the heart of the city for a loved one’s final resting place.

There is a unique cathedral in Milton Keynes, located in the midst of stunning parkland this tranquil space is available for those seeking a simple, natural and beautiful location to inter their loved ones ashes. A peaceful haven, home to a variety of wildlife, The Tree Cathedral meadow at Newlands provides a serene sanctuary and an entirely natural setting for the interment of ashes.

We want to preserve and not detract from the very special nature of The Tree Cathedral and regret that we cannot allow gravestones, markers or other personal mementos on the site. If the memorial opportunities at The Tree Cathedral are not appropriate for you and you feel you would prefer a permanent memorial you may wish to consider other options in Milton Keynes.
