What Is A Living Legacy Tree?

A Legacy Tree is a tree planted in soil that has been infused with the treated ashes of a deceased person or pet. The ashes are treated to neutralise their pH and salt levels – known to cause trees harm.* Instead, the ashes become an incredible nutrient for growing trees, transforming death into life by means of nature.

So How Does Human Ashes Into A Tree Works?
Your ashes are scientifically treated to create living molecules and are then placed beneath a private tree in a peaceful forest where your loved ones can come and visit you all year round.

  1. We use a special, scientifically developed Living Legacy Liquid to treat the ashes.
  2. This process changes the ashes into nutrients that seedlings can use to grow, like potassium and nitrogen.
