Why Choose a Memorial Tree? A recent survey revealed that 30% of people wish to 'become' a tree in their afterlife, underscoring the deep connection and comfort many find in this living memorial. However, directly using ashes can be harmful due to their high alkalinity and salt content, which can hinder a tree’s growth and even prove fatal.
Our Solution: Living Memorial Soil Our pack includes a special Living Memorial Soil, designed to neutralize the harmful effects of ashes, allowing you to safely use them as a nutrient source for the tree. This soil modifies the ashes to encourage healthy growth and ensure your memorial tree thrives.
What’s Included in the Pack?
- Tree Sapling: A 1-1.2m (3-4ft) tall sapling, nurtured to ensure health and robust growth. Larger trees are available upon request.
- Living Memorial Soil: A uniquely formulated soil that transforms ashes into beneficial, life-sustaining nutrients for the tree.
- Stake and Ties: To secure and support the tree as it grows.
- Bio Guard: Protection for the young tree against pests and diseases.
- Optional Plaque: For those who wish to mark the memorial with a personalised message.
