Frequently Asked Questions

Got a question? We’re here to help.

  • How do I order a tree?

    You can order online, and pay through our secure payment system with all major debit/credit cards. 


    You can also place an order over the phone and we can take debit/credit card details through our secure payment system or you can order by post with a cheque.

  • How much does it cost?

    1.5m Tree - £495

    2/2.5m Tree - £695

    Internment Of Ashes - £225 (optional)

  • Do I own the tree?

    You will not own the physical tree because of the legal complexities that would create, you will however own the exclusive dedication and naming rights over the tree and the licence to access the site during normal opening hours.

  • What happens once the site is full?

    Once the last tree dedication rights have been sold, legal ownership of the site will be transferred to a new charitable.


    Trust whose sole purpose will be to own, maintain and preserve the site as a natural woodland. 


    You will remain entitled to access the site after ownership has been

    transferred.

  • How often is the Memorial Forest grass cut?

    We aim to cut 3/4 times a year, or as needed. This will be done from Spring to Autumn every year.


    Cutting may have to be scheduled to allow for wild flowers to bloom and reseed and areas may not be cut at all if there are ground nesting birds during nesting season. We will cut pathways where possible to improve access.

  • How many plaques can you have on a tree?

    Our aim is to have only one plaque per tree, but we recognise that some people may wish to have their own ashes interred next to their loved when the time comes. 


    If you wish to inter or scatter a second set of ashes, there will be an additional fee (25% of the original fee) and a replacement plaque can be purchased with reworded sentiment to suit the addition.
