Letter: Eternal rest in a nature reserve

Sir: I must congratulate Marina Cantacuzino on the care taken while researching for her article 'A natural place to be buried' (26 May). Her skills and sensitivity provide a fine example. However, through no fault on her part, the article includes an error that I must correct. The AB Wildlife Trust Fund has no 'anonymous benefactor'. The woman who provided the inspiration for this innovative organisation did not even have two farthings to rub together. To make this point, the motif of the trust is two farthings.

It took five years to bring this registered charity to its launch date and throughout this time the trustees dug into their own pockets - such was their determination to provide opportunities for others to bury friends and relatives in nature reserves, backed with a free bereavement support service. Clearly, this cannot happen without money; the trustees are now relying on others to dig deep into their pockets.

Yours faithfully,
