Embrace Eternity with a Twist

Bog burial, as practised by Ancient Mire Memorials, is a unique and deeply historical method of laying loved ones to rest. The process begins with the careful preparation of the body, which eschews traditional embalming chemicals in favour of natural methods that align with the ecological integrity of the bog environment.

Once prepared, the body is transported to the chosen site within the bog. These sites are carefully selected based on both environmental conditions and historical significance. The bogs of Scotland, rich in peat and with acidic waterlogged conditions, create a naturally preserving environment. Here, the lack of oxygen and unique chemical composition of the peat effectively mummifies the body, slowing decomposition remarkably and allowing the remains to potentially last for millennia.
