Additional notesWoodwells Cemetery was opened in 1960/1. Woodwells is the second Cemetery Dacorum Borough Council opened within Hemel Hempstead, the first being Heath Lane. Woodwells was first opened as a 4-? acre site; the site has grown to a 12-acre site with surrounding land available for extension. Woodwells was the first Cemetery within Dacorum to have a Lawn Memorial layout and is the only Cemetery within Dacorum to also have Woodland Burials. Dacorum Borough Council is concerned with any form of damage to the environment and has recognised that burials can be designed to offer many benefits to wildlife. The creation of a habitat for wildlife will assist in increasing the amount of birds, mammals, insects and flowers and also provide a burial area for those departed, who wish to ?return to nature?. Woodwells offers a children?s burial area, which is designed to assist those coping with the bereavement of the young. It also offers a dedicated Cremated Remains burial area, for those who have opted to cremate their loved one and still wish to have a memorial dedicated to them.
