Commemorate someone with a Memorial Tree
Instead of a tombstone, a Memorial Tree is a protected place to return ashes to the earth. A custom inscribed Memorial Marker and an intimate in forest ceremony honor life.
Every Memorial Tree Includes
Your choice of tree in a protected forest
Rights to add people and pets in the future
Ongoing access to the forest
Saplings planted in your honor
Your Memorial Tree helps preserve and protect a beautiful forest that your family can visit for generations to come.

“Visiting Mom and Dad’s stone, I always have the sense that their lives were so much bigger than this. The rows of headstones make me reflect on death, and not life.
Better Place Forests is different. It’s a joyous place filled with color and sound. My tree feels just right.”
