Ashes to Tree
Memorialising your loved one naturally
So many people struggle to know what to do with the ashes following a cremation. We have the perfect solution - have the ashes placed in a pot where you can then grow a small tree. You could even
separate the ashes so that multiple members of family & friends can have their own
memorial tree to place in the garden or on a balcony.

Did You Know?
Most people are unaware that ashes kill plants & trees. This is due to the very high alkaline & salts that they contain.
It's vital that the prospective soil is mixed with a scientifically proven soil additive to both neutralise & extract nutrients from the ashes, passing them on to your precious memorial tree.
This is why we add this additive to all our trees.
"Our lives are happier, richer, and more beautiful because of you. With the planting of this tree in your honour, now our world will be too."
Remaining with us
If you don't have a garden or perhaps aren't ready to have you precious tree at home with you, we have the option for it to stay with us in our beautiful grounds being lovingly cared for by us.
As and when you feel ready you can come and visit, we also have many grief workshops that you might benefit from, or take it home with you.
Cost - £120 per month, paid 6 months in advance.
If you would like us to take a monthly photo and email this to you the cost will be £140 per month.
Please note: If payment is not received and despite all reasonable efforts to contact you to come and collect have not been successful then we will dispose of the ashes respectfully.
NOTE
Planting either a tree or a plant in memory of someone we love is a beautiful way of honouring them. It's important to remember though, that plants are living beings and sometimes, just like us, no matter how much we care for them they don't flourish and sometimes die. Don't be disheartened, growing a tree in a pot enables you to replace the tree if this does happen, all the
while keeping your precious ashes safe to go on and help the new tree grow - as long as the cremation soil
additive has been added.
