Some people wait until there's no choice left. Others choose to decide early - clearly, deliberately, on their own terms. If you're here, you're likely one of the second kind.

This isn't about dying. It's about what you leave behind.

Pre-planning your memorial isn't a morbid exercise. It's one of the most considered things you can do for the people you love.

When families in BC are left to make these decisions in the middle of grief, they're guessing. What would they have wanted? What would have felt right? That uncertainty is one of the heaviest parts of loss - and it's entirely preventable.

If you've ever been the one left deciding, you already know what this gift means.

A Tribute Tree, pre-arranged now, means the people you love don't have to figure it out. They receive something living, something growing, something chosen by you - and they know exactly what it means.

What to do now

Pre-ordering a Tribute Tree for yourself is straightforward. You choose your tree, complete your order, and let us know it's a pre-arrangement.

Once your order is placed, we send you an ashes collection kit. You can store it with your important documents, leave it with your belongings, or pass it directly to the person who will carry out your wishes. Everything they need will be there - no guesswork, no scrambling.

When the time comes, your family sends us the kit. We prepare the soil carefully to integrate the cremated ashes, then cultivate your chosen tree. The process takes four to 12 weeks depending on the amount of ashes sent. Your tree is then delivered to the people you've designated, anywhere in British Columbia.

Your family can send all of the ashes, or just a portion - whatever feels right and aligns with your wishes. Either way, something of you keeps growing, at home and part of daily life. 

A Tribute Tree doesn't have to replace anything you've already planned. It can sit alongside an urn, a keepsake, a burial plot, or a place where ashes will be scattered. Some people choose to leave behind one tree. Others pre-arrange several - one for a child, one for a sibling, one for the garden of the home they loved. Because only a small portion of ashes is needed for each tree, there is enough for more than one. There is no all-or-nothing.

What it leaves behind

Not an object to be stored. Not a decision to be made in the hardest weeks.

A living tree - in a home, a garden, a favourite corner of a balcony - that grows alongside the people you love. Something rooted. Something that continues.

That's the kind of presence worth planning for.
