Announcement for this event:
Are you interested in learning about a natural and sustainable alternative to cemeteries? Please join Alethea Valley and Gillian Nye from Better Place Forests at Cafe Mortel on November 1st at 3 p.m. to learn more about America’s First Memorial Forest.
Many people want to have their ashes spread in nature – in a place that is private, peaceful, and beautiful. Better Place Forest’s serene forest and experienced forest team provide this option. It is a protected forest and home to Memorial Trees, which are established, growing trees that serve as a resting place for cremated remains. Ashes are mixed with native soil from the forests and spread at the base of the tree forever becoming part of the environment.
The experienced team helps people navigate difficult conversations about end-of-life with meaningful outcomes. Planning provides peace of mind and is a gift to those left behind. People select a Memorial Tree for themselves, their families and even their pets if they want to include them. The Memorial Tree can stand as a living legacy for friends and family for many generations to come.
Better Place Forests are located across the country. The closest to Santa Rosa is in Point Arena, CA, a small coastal town on the southern border of Mendocino.
What better time than the afternoon before Day of the Dead to contemplate our final resting place. Join Café Mortel on Wednesday, November 1st, at 3p.m. till 4:15 in the Central Activity Center, Room B or via Zoom to hear about this meaningful way to honor those who have passed.
