Why we offer Ashes to Earth™
A NOTE FROM RIDLEY FUNERAL HOME"Being one of the first to offer memorial planting kits in Ontario was an easy decision for us. We see how much comfort families find in the idea of a living memorial. It shifts the focus from loss to legacy, and gives people a beautiful, tangible way to stay connected to the people they love."
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.

WE PREPARE IT
Your funeral director combines your loved one's ashes with the Ashes to Earth™ soil formula, so it's ready to plant when you take it home. No extra steps, no guesswork.

PLANT A LIVING LEGACY
Choose a tree, a perennial, a wildflower patch — anything that feels like them. The transformed earth nourishes whatever you plant.

“After 5+ years on my dresser, my beloved’s ashes now are supporting this beautiful Maple with leaves in all the colours he loved. Every time I walk by it there is a peacefulness that warms my heart.”
