Hope Eternal Gardens

Plant a micro-forest with your friends and family as part of restoring 20 acres of forest; natural burial (cremains accepted); professional photographs in high resolution; pathways so you don't need to walk across a grave to visit; access to events like fishing, lectures, art exhibitions; celebration of community through nature trails, boardwalks, food forests, cottages, and art studio spaces; water savings (micro-forests need 3-5 years of minimal irrigation, then never again); no herbicides, chemical fertilizers, or pesticides ever; enhancement of 12 acres of on-site wetlands; and carbon emission offsetting.

Step 1: Schedule a free consultation (virtual or in-person). Step 2: Choose a burial space and service option during consultation or follow-up meeting. Step 3: We design and gather trees for your micro-forest; if you choose to plant, we schedule a Forest Planting Day (professional photos available); if not, we plant for you. Step 4: You enjoy first access to events, updates, and the option to schedule private visits with friends and family.

Lock in today's price as prices may increase with development; the sooner you plant, the bigger the forest and more carbon sequestered; see your impact and make memories with loved ones now; remove burden of decision making and financial stress for loved ones; financing available for pre-planners (0% financing for 12 months).

Micro-forests are planted using the proven Miyawaki Method, developed by a botanist over 50 years ago and used to plant millions of trees around the world. Each forest continues to grow and evolve, offering a living memorial visitors can return to again and again, with each season revealing new life, color, and transformation.
