Why we offer Ashes to Earth™
A NOTE FROM SMITH'S FUNERAL HOME"We are always listening to the families we serve, and increasingly, they are asking for greener, more nature-focused options. Ashes to Earth™ provides a scientifically sound and deeply moving way to return ashes to the earth. We are proud to offer this living memorial option to our community."
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.
