Become A Living Legacy Tree, Live On Forever

Here we will explain what is a memorial tree in Australia so you can transform the ashes of your loved ones into Living Legacy Trees that create lasting connections.

Stay Connected Forever With Your Family

A Living 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 using the patented Living Legacy liquid to neutralize 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.

Our partner, Living Legacy, has perfected the treatment of ashes to create living molecules so a person’s energy can live on through a tree while supporting it to grow healthily. Industry leaders including the Greater Metropolitan Cemeteries Trust (GMCT), Northern Cemeteries in NSW, City of Brisbane, Tobin Brothers and Chapter House have all adopted Living Legacy as the best practice standard for a sustainable memorial.

Heartfelt Stories of Legacy Planters

Wendy - Sunflower Garden

“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.”⁠

Gerald Krezner - Oak Tree

"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."

Liliana Slater - Dog Ashes Into Tree

"Infusing my dog Nina's ashes into my pre-planted tree at Mornington Green was a beautiful experience. It's comforting to know we'll be reunited there one day. I'm grateful they understand pets are family too. Now we have a special place to remember Nina."

Caitlyn Thomson⁠

"Thank you to Mornington Green for making us feel so welcome when we were going through the toughest time of our lives. You all feel like family to us! We now have a beautiful tree when visiting our son that we can watch grow in the years to come - it’s our happy place."

Alan Kent - Japanese Maple

"The whole concept is amazing! We even helped plant our tree. It was a fantastic experience for my kids and even my grandkids! I would highly recommend."

Katherine - Gingko

"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 evolve. We bring a picnic rug, play games on the grounds, feed the ducks and have a coffee."
