How to Plant a Remembrance Tree

Below we explain exactly how to plant your cremation tree urn. You can download a printable version of the instructions here: How to Plant A Remembrance tree. Each tree kit will also come with complete instructions for that specific tree type.

Before you plant

1. We recommend you use the internet to find out the ideals for site, sun exposure, soil type and watering needs for the kind of memorial tree you have chosen. Search “best conditions to grow[insert tree name here]”

2. Take shrink wrap off and open the container with earth and nutrients, and place the chosen seed inside.

There are two basic components of your memorial tree cremation urn:

A) The lower vessel for the cremated remains.

B) The lid which contains the whole for the container with nutrients and growth medium.

3. Preparation for planting is very simple.

1. First, if included, follow the soaking instructions on the seed packet.

2. Second, open the bio-degradable paper bag made from natural wood pulp and place the bag in the lower vessel.

3. Third, fill the bag with ashes, leaving enough room to fold it over & get the cap on.

4. Note: If you do not wish to do this, any reputable funeral home or crematory will do it for you.

Planting the tree

1. Place the cap (or lid) onto the lower vessel in preparation for planting. No need to glue.

2. Select your area of planting carefully. Keep in mind the type of tree you have selected and the size it and its roots will reach at maturity. Dig a hole approximately 40 to 50 cm deep.

3. Place the urn upright into the hole with the lower vessel portion touching the bottom and the upper capsule nearest the surface.

4. Take the paper of the cellulose cup on the top container and place the seed inside. Place the cup into the whole of the lid from the urn. You should have no more than 10 cm of soil over the top of the urn. Water and use a light mulch to protect from excessive cold or heat.

5. With the special growth medium, nature will take its course and you will soon have a beautiful memorial tree sprouting up.
