Why we offer Ashes to Earth™
A NOTE FROM EARTH'S OPTION"Our entire philosophy is built around providing choices that are gentle on the earth. The Ashes to Earth memorial planting kits align perfectly with our community’s values. It gives our families a tangible, beautiful way to honour their loved ones while giving back to the natural world they loved."
HOW IT WORKSAshes to Earth™ patented soil science transforms cremated remains into plant-friendly earth. Removing the alkaline toxicity that prevents growth and replacing it with nutrients that help new life flourish.
The result is a living memorial: a tree, a garden, a potted plant — something that grows and changes with the seasons, that you can return to, tend, and share.
