New eco-friendly cemetery opens

The first environmentally-friendly woodland burial site has been consecrated in the Forth Valley.

The new £40,000 cemetery in Killearn, in rural Stirling, will have 700 lairs and will not feature headstones.

Only coffins made of biodegradable material like cardboard and wicker will be used for burials.
