\n\t\t\t\t\tCollection of cremated remains<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t

We arrange for the cremated remains to be collected either from you, your funeral director, or the crematorium.\nIf you would prefer to use only a portion of the ashes, we can provide a collection pack with clear guidance, which is then carefully returned to us.\n<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\tPreparing the memorial<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t

A portion of the cremated remains is gently integrated into a specialist soil blend. In their natural form, cremated remains are too alkaline for plant life, so this process allows them to become part of a balanced growing environment. The soil is then left to rest.\nYour chosen tree is then hand planted into this prepared soil, within a breathable felt growing pot that supports healthy root development.\nWe tend to the memorial over several weeks, ensuring it is settled, stable, and thriving before it leaves our care.\n<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\tCreating the memorial foundation<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t

The remaining cremated remains are respectfully placed within a sealed memorial plinth.\nThis is designed to sit discreetly at the base of your planter, beneath the tree - forming a permanent and unseen foundation to the memorial.\nIf requested, we will also separate and return portions of the ashes for other family members. A small keepsake portion is included for you to retain.\n<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\tYour memorial page<\/span>\n\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\t\t\t

Alongside the physical memorial, a dedicated memorial page is created.\nYou can invite family members to access the page, allowing you to collectively add photographs, music, voice notes, and written memories over time. The page becomes a shared space - one that supports ongoing connection and preserves a life story for future generations.\n<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
