Learn MoreA unique living cemetery for cremated remains and an eco-friendly alternative to traditional burials.
Similar to traditional cemeteries, we provide private burial plots for cremated remains. The difference is that Life Forest® replaces headstones with trees, allowing you to grow a beautiful living memorial within a peaceful vibrant memory forest. Each woodland burial plot is marked by one of our carefully selected memorial trees, under which we plant the ashes of your loved one. Burial plot locations are recorded by exact GPS coordinates so that friends, family, and future generations can always visit your memorial tree.
Unlike a traditional cemetery, Life Forest's carefully designed ecological system offers the option of additional burials under your memorial tree, without disturbing the tree's growth. And because animal companions are also part of the family, we offer options for pet burial as well.
If you are contemplating green burial, please consider Life Forest®.
Despite being brand new and navigating the uncertain waters of the pandemic, Life Forest has already demonstrated they excel at the most important part of being a cemetery-keeper: holding the space and holding the bereaved.

Many of my clients express wishing there was some other way to honor, memorialize, and visit final resting places. Many keep ashes home and move them around, wondering what to do. Life Forest is a beautiful solution, providing sustainable, scenic, rejuvenating resting places that also give back the energy of that lost loved one to the new life born from the ashes. I believe it will bring great comfort and healing for many people, generations to come; as well as heal our Earth with the new growth of trees and flowers”
