A More Meaningful Way to Say Goodbye
This month, your Memorial Tree includes a Forest Memorial — free of charge.
In a Better Place Forest, memorials feel peaceful, personal, and rooted in nature.
A Memorial Tree is a lasting resting place in a protected forest. This September, it also includes a Forest Memorial, a guided ceremony at the tree for up to 30 guests. That’s a $1,000 value, included at no cost.
You can redeem the ceremony whenever you’re ready.
“The peace and closure I got from participating in the ceremony — it’s exactly what he wanted for me.”

Your Memorial Tree is more than a final resting place. It’s a living legacy, a place to return to, and a meaningful way to honor someone you love.
Find Peace in the Forest, Now and Later
Many people choose their Memorial Tree in advance. It’s a way to plan with care and start connecting to the forest now.
You can visit your tree, walk the trails, and spend quiet time in the place where you’ll one day be remembered. When the time comes, your Forest Memorial can unfold in a setting that already feels personal and peaceful.
There’s no rush. Our Guides are here to help you explore what feels right with no pressure to decide everything today.
This September, We’re Honoring You, Too
This month, every Memorial Tree includes a Forest Memorial to support families taking this meaningful step.
A Ceremony Rooted in Nature
A Forest Memorial is a guided ceremony held beneath your chosen tree. Ashes are gently mixed with forest soil and returned to the earth. Wildflower seeds are scattered. Words are shared. Silence is honored.
The process is natural, respectful, and led by a trained Guide who supports you and your loved ones every step of the way.
“Mixing the ashes with the soil — our guests’ reaction was,
‘This is so Andre.’ It’s one more step in our healing.”
Deb L. | Flagstaff Memorial Forest, AZ
How a Forest Memorial Ceremony Unfolds
Every Forest Memorial is guided with care, shaped by your wishes, and rooted in nature. Here’s what the experience looks like when the time comes.
Gather in Peace
Your family meets in the Memorial Forest with a Forest Guide to begin the ceremony.
Mix with Love
Ashes are combined with native forest soil and dried flowers, a symbol of beauty and return.
Return with Purpose
The mixture is gently placed in a Forest Nest at the base of your Memorial Tree.
Plant with Hope
Wildflower seeds are scattered as a tribute to life, growth, and new beginnings.
Remember Together
Share stories, read meaningful words, or simply sit in peaceful connection.
Mark the Moment
A bronze Memorial Marker can be placed to honor their life and guide future visits.
Talk to a Guide to learn more or start planning your Forest Memorial.
Where Memories Live On in Nature
Forest Memorials help families stay connected to their person, to the land, and to one another. Every visit becomes a way to remember, reflect, and return to what matters.
This is more than a final resting place. It’s a return home.
A Place to Return to, When You’re Ready
Your Memorial Tree includes the Forest Memorial at no additional cost through September. You can choose your tree now, and hold the ceremony when the time is right.
