the families we serve
The best rated memorial park in Australia.
I could not imagine going to a cemetery with a plaque on the ground to visit my son. Here, I can come with my chair, book, and coffee, and just sit and read. I do it every week.

When Emely Told Her Dad He Could Become A Tree His Face Lit Up
Mum loved her garden, and I’m sure she’s happy knowing she’s in beautiful surroundings that we’ll enjoy visiting.
Kim Westlake – Mum’s Tree
Mother
Mornington Green represents a perfect solution to the conundrum of what to do with my father’s (and eventually my mother’s) ashes. A beautiful setting which is always pleasant to visit, with a tangible connection to the person or people memorialised.
Gerold Krezner – Oak Tree
Father
It's nothing like visiting a cemetery. Joy watching our trees grow, playing games, feeding the ducks, and having a coffee.

Laura Found The Perfect Memorial For Her Son Alex
My son Matthew passed in 2020, and finding a resting place for him was incredibly challenging. Traditional cemeteries felt sad and didn’t reflect who he was. Matthew loved nature, and when I found Mornington Green, its vision of a beautiful botanical garden felt like the perfect place.

A peaceful, quiet place to celebrate Mum's life. My children can hug her as a tree and keep a flower by their bed.

The ashes are treated with our patented Living Legacy Formula, which converts them into nutrients that feed the tree for decades. This process is gentle, organic, respectful, scientifically proven and adopted by leading government agencies in Australia.
Native trees on the Mornington Peninsula can live for 50 to 100 years or more, depending on the species. Your memorial grows stronger with time.
If your tree gets sick or dies our dedicated team replace it at no cost to you. We use the parent tree mulch or seeds to create continuity.
Yes. Families often choose to plant multiple loved ones ashes in the same tree, creating a Living Family Tree that keeps everyone connected.
