An Environmentally Friendly Alternative
EcoEternity Forests are undisturbed forest preservations that provide beautiful, ecologically friendly, and peaceful resting places for cremated remains. Cremains are placed in biodegradable urns and buried at the roots of mature trees. Over time, the roots will absorb the nutrients and create a living memorial for friends and family to visit for generations. EcoEternity Forests truly allow life to begin again.
