Special promo this June

Two offers on reserving a Living Legacy Tree, each suited to a different situation.

Free, valued at $3,000

For families holding a loved one’s ashes

Free ash infusion for a loved one

If you are caring for a loved one’s ashes at home, reserve a tree before 30 June and we will infuse them into that same tree at no cost.

For pre-planners

Reserve now and keep today's price

Planning ahead lets you choose your own tree and spares your family the decision later.

Save thousands

Both offers end 30 June. The best locations and tree species are reserved first, so the open day is the place to see what remains.

From the moment you drive in the gate to the moment you leave, you feel part of a caring community. Nothing is too much trouble, you will feel listened to and the farewell for your loved one will be exactly as you request.

I discovered Mornington Green online seeking an eco-friendly alternative to a graveyard. Mum and I loved the open day, clear info, and choosing our family tree with Rebecca. Stress-free!!

Our tour was very informative. Rob was compassionate, considerate and thoughtful with Mum. No pressure, every detail covered. She now has peace knowing she and Dad will rest together.

My brother chose Mornington Green after his diagnosis, loving the idea of living on in a Flame Tree. After a tour with Rob, he chose his tree. We later selected one beside him.

Beautiful, peaceful grounds that look stunning year-round, especially when Crepe Myrtles flower. After visiting a loved one, the clubhouse and shaded deck offer a calm spot for coffee or a meal.

Mornington Green is a gem. From arrival we felt warmly welcomed. Rob went above and beyond, making us feel at home. The stunning, serene grounds are a true escape from the hustle.

Common Questions

Good to Know

A few things people usually ask before they come.

Is it really free with no obligation?

Yes. You come, look around, ask questions, and decide what you’d like to do next. That’s it.

Do I need to have lost someone recently?

No. Many people come to plan ahead for themselves or a spouse. Our team is used to both kinds of conversations.

What does a Living Legacy Tree cost?

Trees start from $8,000. Pricing depends on species and location within the garden. We cover everything at the Open Day with no surprises.

Can I bring family members?

Please do. Most people bring a partner or family member. It helps to have the conversation together.

How far is it from Melbourne?

About 55 to 65 minutes from the CBD. We’re at 125 Tyabb-Tooradin Rd, Somerville.

What if March doesn't work for me?

We run Open Days through the year. Register your interest and we’ll let you know when the next one is on. Private tours are also available.
