Following cremation, responsibility for the appropriate care of the ashes returns to the family, quietly and without ceremony. Many people feel unsure how best to proceed. Earthbound exists to offer clarity at this point, and support in the moments that follow.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Earthbound approach is modern, but grounded. Our intention is to create a memorial that can be lived with, over time. <\/span>We do not seek to replace existing rituals or beliefs. We simply offer an alternative remembrance that can be integrated into daily life \u2013 quietly and personally – for years to come.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
