Ashes to Ashes
As the saying goes. When scattering or burying ashes, we do so with the belief that our loved ones will nurture the earth just as they nurtured our spirits. Science indicates, however, that the old saying is true: ashes placed into the earth will remain ashes forever. Spreading cremated ashes without the use of our blended soil can only mean bad news for our environment.
Soil Loses Nutrients
We worked with an independent lab to understand why ashes are toxic to the environment. After a series of soil studies, we learned that the high pH level and excessive sodium content of cremated remains prevents them from releasing nutrients. No amount of soil will naturally offset the impact of scattering, planting or burying ashes, so plants will grow around areas with only cremated ashes.
How to Plant a Tree with Cremated Ashes
Blend
Mix LYLG with cremated remains to create a perfectly balanced substance for the environment. Now you’re free to explore several eco-friendly memorial options.
Plant
When combined with a loved one’s cremated remains, LYLG frees your imagination to create a living memorial that embodies their spirit and the relationship you shared.
Scatter
Rather than keep them in an urn, many find it natural to spread their loved one’s cremated ashes across a special place. Wherever their ashes may blow, LYLG ensures they give life back to the earth. Before burying ashes, we recommend letting them sit with our LYLG mixture for a period of time to reach normal pH and sodium levels. Please refer to the directions when you place your order.
Bury
For those who’d rather not plant, LYLG makes burying ashes eco-friendly. Rest assured that when you return to that special place, it looks even more beautiful than when you left it.
