The novelist Dame Barbara Cartland was buried on May 24th 2000 in a cardboard coffin in the grounds of Camfield Place, her home near Hatfield in Hertfordshire, near a 400-year-old oak tree which was planted by Queen Elizabeth I. Mourners took oak leaves from the tree as a memento.
And in the Observer newspaper on July 2nd 2000, the conservationist David Bellamy is quoted as saying:
"I'm planning to be buried in one of the Church of England woodland sites, where I hope to grow into a tree and where one day someone will chop me down and make me into a beautiful piece of furniture."
