Past Loss
Grief stays with us long after losing someone.
Eventually, we learn to continue living while carrying its weight within us. If your loved one was cremated after their passing, you may decide to keep their ashes for many months or years. Displaying their urn by the fireplace, in the family room, or on the bedside table, can help us feel close to them while we grieve—seeing a reminder of their life and love can be very comforting.
As life moves forward though, there will come a time to lay them to rest. Searching for closure is a normal part of the healing process and laying your loved one to rest may be necessary in receiving closure. It is also creates an opportunity to further honour their memory by ensuring their ashes are treated with dignity and guaranteeing their last imprint on the earth is a positive one.
Lay them to rest.
When the time comes, give their story a beautiful ending that can be shared and remembered. Return their ashes to the earth with a simple and sustainable memorial kit that reflects their life and fits your lifestyle.
Breathe easily, knowing you’ve made the right decision for your family, your loved one’s memory, and their final impact on the earth.

Celebrate Their Life
Recognizing your loved one’s life, accomplishments, and passing can happen any time after their death—whenever you are ready, and however you envision.
We celebrate our most important milestones with ceremony. In a Celebration of Life, we come together as family, friends, and community to honour the life of the one we lost.
Your Celebration of Life ceremony can play many important roles: the ability to grieve in a safe space, sharing memories and laughs with loved ones nearest and dearest. All while providing a much needed sense of closure. Make the most of these moments with our pre-planned Celebration Kit or professional Celebrant Services.

Nourish New Life
Give their ashes new life, and watch your love grow.
As a living reminder of your loved one, memorial plants are comforting and uplifting. Caring for your memorial plant connects you to the cycle of life, and by planting with our Let Your Love Grow (LYLG) mix, you are able to actually turn your loved one’s ashes into energy.
Memorial plants can be any species, both indoor or outdoor, in a planter or a garden. A vibrant focal point, or a delicate wallflower. Ashes can be used all together, or shared with many family members amongst a number of plants. Choosing a memorial plant allows you to keep your loved one close, while naturally continuing the cycle of life.
