Leave the earth, better

A natural alternative to cemeteries, located in the Northeast

Better Place Forests offers a natural alternative to cemeteries. Your ashes are placed beneath a private tree in a peaceful forest where your loved ones can visit and remember you.

A more beautiful resting place

Continue the cycle of life when your ashes are mixed with soil and returned to the base of your tree.

A personal memorial ceremony

Your forest steward will help shape a memorial ceremony that reflects your unique personality.

A legacy of protected landscapes

Your memorial helps conserve open spaces and reforest America.

A more meaningful and affordable resting place

“Not only is a traditional service roughly twice the cost, but you’re very limited on what you get out of it.”
