Daily Operations
Can I still visit the forest?
Can I still have a Forest Memorial?
Yes, you can still have a Forest Memorial. Our team will continue to support the Forest Memorial planning process, as well as the experience of combining ashes with local soil and returning ashes to the earth.
How do I get my Memorial Marker?
.The process to get a Memorial Marker for your tree is unchanged. You can get a Memorial Marker as part of your Forest Memorial planning process, or if you would like an additional Memorial Marker as a memento, we’re happy to help.

How will things be different for me/my descendants when I visit the forest?
Visiting the forest with our nonprofit status will feel the same as visiting the forest today. We hope to provide additional in-forest events in the future.

Nonprofit Status
What is a nonprofit?
A nonprofit is an organization that exists to serve a mission rather than generate profits for owners or shareholders. As a nonprofit, Better Place Forests will no longer have shareholders. Nonprofits reinvest their proceeds to support and sustain their programs—in our case, the forests.
Can I make a donation?
We are still in the process of obtaining our tax-exempt status. As soon as that process is complete, we can accept donations.
Contract & Payments
Does my contract change now that you’re a nonprofit?
Your contract remains valid. No need to sign any additional paperwork.
