Over 1000 Families Have Planted Their Legacy

“Thank you to Mornington Green for making us feel so welcome when we were going through the toughest time of our lives. We now have a beautiful tree when visiting our son that we can watch grow – it’s our happy place.“

“It’s nothing at all like that of visiting a cemetery. There is so much joy in watching not only our trees grow, but the entire grounds evolving. We bring a picnic rug, play games on the grounds, feed the ducks and have a coffee”

“We wanted a place where it is peaceful and quiet, where we could celebrate Mum’s life. My 2 children, who are still young, needed a place where they could hug Mum as a tree. Have a flower next to theor bed at night”.

“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.⁠”

“What a magical place. Planted Dad’s tree today. He wanted a Linden tree like the ones back home in Leipzig around the fountain. He got one right next to the lake at Mornington Green. Had the most fantastic experience. Staff go above and beyond and are so amazing. It’s such a joyful place. I’m so happy this was an option instead of a cemetery because I can see happy memories being made here.” 

“I was thinking about treating the ashes of our parents, so I thought what’s the best way to our parents, to the environment, to us as well. Now after planting, we can see the tree as days go by, see how beautiful our parents grow into.”

“My tree and my sister who is waiting for me.”⁠

“Tuesday the 29th of October marked my Dad’s 64th birthday… and one year since we infused his ashes into this memorial red flowering gum tree. I’m glad we chose to do the ash infusion at Mornington Green Legacy Garden since it’s a much nicer environment than a cemetery. Each time we go visit, we take some vegan treats to enjoy there by the tree.”

“Beautiful, calming experience we had. The people here are warm and caring… we were well looked after on Mum’s afternoon. Mum loved her garden, and I’m sure she’s happy knowing she’s in beautiful surroundings that we’ll enjoy visiting.“

“Highly recommend that you visit this memorial park, beautiful place and ethos.”⁠

“The service was beautiful, everything was perfect and so easy to make happen. I am forever grateful to the team at Mornington Green for helping me to find the right solution to honouring mum’s wishes.”

“Mornington Green gave us the chance to celebrate our loved one’s life to the full”

“I saw Mornington Green online and was keen to investigate an environmentally positive alternative to a graveyard. Attended an open day with my mum, we were both impressed with the atmosphere on arrival and during the presentation and tour, all our questions were answered and we came to understand the tremendous positive impact on the environment, unique infusion process and the ceremony that includes family involvement. By the end of the day we were completely comfortable with the information we received and set a date to confirm our decision and choose our ‘family tree’. Today we met with Rebecca again and we ventured out to select our tree, we had a species in mind and were able to take our time to select the perfect tree for our large family. Signing a contract by a warm fireplace with a coffee made the whole experience stress free and easy. We highly recommend everyone have a look into Mornington Green for your own family consideration. Thanks again Rebecca.”

“My husband’s farewell was so memorable. It was an intimate time to be with him for the last time- the way the service was planned. The staff were so accomodating. They made it so personal and very homey. The place is perfect and it suits my husband’s personality.”

“It’s very well done,l attended a memorial service here today ,very personal & individual, caring celebrant 🌳🌳🌳”

“Amanda was very caring and supportive and The gardens are and will be in the future so beautiful and such a lovely place to rest our loved ones in peace . The ceremony Tree planting was inclusive of all the family and was lovely to be involved in the infusion of ashes . I would highly recommend Mornington Green.”

“Our family were more than pleased with the staff at Mornington Green. Rebecca, Rob and Mandy.
Mandy was very helpful, informative and performed a lovely service when Anne’s ashes were infused into a beautiful Flame tree.
The setting is beautiful and will be a wonderful place to visit Anne and a future setting for our family members and pet dogs.”

“We actually visited the memorial garden to get out in nature with our 5 yr old and 4 month old, and see some sunflowers. It’s a beautiful, calm place, to explore. The rocky creek was a hit with our 5yr old, whilst the cafe was lovely to retreat back to, surrounded by large trees and overlooking the green field. The staff were warm and hospitable, always stopping to have a chat. Rob, the manager, was so welcoming and made us feel at home, checking in to see we received our picnic pack, and all was to our liking. The picnic platter we purchased was fresh, with generous servings of cold meats, cheeses, fruit, and dips. The Photo Booth was a lovely addition to the experience.
Thanks again for a great day out to the team at Mornington Green!”

“I am fighting a nasty lung cancer, and am trying to get the future sorted. The thought of being incorporated into a tree, and maybe still being useful in 40 years appealed to me, so I did a tour of the Memorial Green. First off, Mark was delightful to sit with for a while, and go through all the facts of the The Memorial Green, and how it works. At the end of this presentation i was already pretty much sold on the idea, but felt I should go away and give it due consideration, and then we were put in a shuttle and given a full tour of the site. It’s a young place yet, but it’s already so easy to visualise what it will look like in 10 years, and that is amazing. At the last of the tree groups I found my tree, and It i reserved for me, and It has a reserved plaque on it stating “I want a Treesomme”, which suits my sense of humour perfectly. I cannot begin to describe the sense of peace and joy that I experienced in that wonderful environment, nicest happy feeling ever. And it affected my sisters in the same way too, and they are looking at buy their own trees too.”

“We found out about Mornington Green after my husband Ben was diagnosed with terminal melanoma. It means so much to me to know that it is something he wanted and approved of. And now, in my grief, I have somewhere that the kids and I can visit him, and see him thrive and grow again. A beautiful, strong Oak tree that represents how protective and amazing he was to everyone who knew him. Thank you, Mornington Green – you truly do create a lasting legacy, for my Ben and so many others.”

“Thank you Luke for making my Mum’s ceremony so special and including yourself in my family’s special day.
Your compassion was much appreciated and we all felt your genuine feelings.
You bought my family comfort in including them in the procedures.”

“Rebecca, a good listener with empathy and compassion, discussed ideas and made suggestions around my budget. I didn’t end up with the tree, I originally selected. Instead I picked a tree equally me. More importantly, in a very nice spot. It took a while to sign up, I had gone to Mornington Green a few times, with a friend and a picnic with my two children, seeking their approval. They didn’t hesitate, loved it and immediately said it was a perfect place.
There is nothing more beautiful then growing a tree, that gives out beauty and oxygen for the planet.”
