How it works
From ashes to
a living memorial.
Four steps from the first call to the day the tree is planted.
Select tree species or join an existing family tree. We confirm the spot and record the choice.
A chamber or garden bed is prepared for the ashes. Everything is ready before the ceremony.
Using the Living Legacy Formula, ashes are transformed into nutrients the tree or garden needs to grow.
Family and friends gather for the planting. Up to 15 guests. We organise or keep it private.
A real story
Hazel comes back most Saturdays.
When Zuki died, Hazel planted a Maple at our gardens. She comes back most Saturdays with her tea. Some days she stays an hour. She also pre-planned to be on the same Maple. So Zuki won't be alone.
Hazel and Zuki, Maple

Questions
Things people ask before they decide.
Common questions from pet families before choosing a memorial.
Yes. With an Individual Memorial Tree, the same tree can hold a pet's ashes and an owner's, one day. Many families pre-arrange both at the time of the pet's planting.
We accept ashes from dogs, cats, and most domestic pets. Contact us if you are unsure whether a particular pet's ashes are suitable. We will let you know before you commit to anything.
Yes. Pre-planning is available while a pet is still alive. Families choose the tree or spot in advance, and the planting happens when the time comes. Contact us to discuss.
That is fine. Most families come to us with ashes already at home. We handle the treatment and planting from that point. There is no time limit on when you can plant.
Contact us to discuss referral arrangements. We are open to working with veterinary practices that want to offer families a meaningful next step after a loss.
