Paradisbakkerne Skovbegravelsesplads

Could the whispers of ancient trolls and rustling leaves hold the secrets to eternal rest? Here in the heart of Paradisbakkerne, also known as “Paradise Hills,” lies a unique final resting place. Paradisbakkerne Skovbegravelsesplads, or “Woodland Cemetery,” offers a tranquil alternative to traditional burials. Opened in October 2020, this serene space is a collaboration between Ibsker Husmandsplantage, Bornholms Regionskommune, and Skovbegravelse Administration. Paradisbakkerne itself is a testament to the power of the Ice Age. The rolling hills and rocky gorges create a dramatic landscape. The area teems with rare and endangered species, from majestic white-tailed eagles soaring overhead to tiny, unique beetles hidden amongst the ferns. The woodland cemetery is nestled within this protected area, offering a final resting place in harmony with nature. Paradisbakkerne Skovbegravelsesplads offers single, double, and family plots marked by the sturdy presence of oak trees. The first few interments under a family tree are included in the initial cost. Subsequent burials are subject to the current fees. The cemetery allows for the reservation of plots for future use. This gives individuals the opportunity to secure their place within this natural sanctuary. Paradisbakkerne, steeped in folklore and legend, adds another layer of mystique to this peaceful resting place. The famous Rokkestenen, a massive “rocking stone,” sits nearby. Legend claims that a troll hurled Slingesten, another large boulder in the area, towards Bodils Kirke. These whispers of the past mingle with the gentle rustling of leaves. It creates a truly unique atmosphere. A burial at Paradisbakkerne Skovbegravelsesplads is more than just an interment. It is a return to nature. It is a connection to the ancient stories of the land. It is a peaceful slumber amidst the whispers of paradise.
