A living memorial, rooted in nature

If nature is where you feel truly at home, this is for you.

Some memories belong outdoors. In a garden they tended, a trail they walked, a cottage they loved. Others belong closer. A plant by a favourite chair, in a windowsill, on a patio.

A living memorial gives you something to return to, tend, and watch grow.

A different kind of memorial

For many families, cremated remains sit at home for months, sometimes years. Not because they don't care. But because nothing has felt quite right yet. The scattering they planned keeps getting put off. The urn stays on the shelf. And the memorial that would bring peace stays just out of reach.

If that's where you are, you're not alone. And we may be able to help.

Ashes to Earth™

We are proud to offer Ashes to Earth™ memorial planting kits — a beautiful, science-backed memorial option made right here in Canada.

Ashes to Earth™ patented soil blend turns cremated remains into plant-friendly earth, neutralising the high pH, sodium, and mineral levels that prevent healthy growth, and replacing them with nutrients that help new life flourish. So your plant or place in nature can actually thrive.

HOW IT WORKS

Kits come in three sizes — Keepsakes, Half, and Full — and are compatible with any plant variety. You can combine with traditional memorial choices, use on its own, or share among family members. We prepare the kit for you, so it's ready to plant when you take it home. No extra steps, and no guesswork.

Three ways families use Ashes to Earth™:

•        Memorial gardens

•        Potted plants

•        Spreading in nature

READY WHEN YOU ARE

There's no timeline. Planting kits can be used right after a service or with an urn that's been home for years — whenever the moment feels right.

Here’s how one family described their experience:

"After 5+ years on my dresser, my beloved's ashes are now supporting this beautiful Maple with leaves in all of the colours that he loved. Every time I walk by it there is a peacefulness that warms my heart." — Kay Henry, on her husband's memorial planting
