Why use a Memorial Planting Kit?

A Tree of Life Memorial is a natural, environmentally-conscious way to honour the memory of the deceased. Traditionally, it has not been possible to plant a tree directly with cremated ashes, as this doesn’t provide the plant with the nutrients or pH levels it needs to thrive.

By combining the remains with Tree of Life’s unique, enriching compost mixture you will be able to plant your tree or shrub with the remains, assured that you’re giving the plant the best opportunity to flourish into a beautiful, enduring memorial.
