Ashes Among the Oaks

A Gathering of Remembrance and Renewal
May 31, 2025 | Better Place Forests, St. Croix Valley

Let go, gently.

Whether you’ve been holding onto your loved one’s ashes for a few months or many years, Ashes Among the Oaks offers something special:

  • A quiet place to return them to nature.
  • A peaceful moment to honor them, surrounded by community.
  • A living forest, ready to hold what you’ve been carrying.

Hosted by SendOff and Better Place Forests, this gathering invites you to give your loved one a final resting place in a newly dedicated Spreading Grove—a space created for remembrance, reflection, and release.

Why Attend?

  • Sometimes we need a nudge.
  • A setting that feels right.
  • A circle that feels safe.
  • A ceremony that meets the moment.

Ashes Among the Oaks is exactly that.

  • Return Them to the Grove
    Not a closet. Not a fireplace mantle. A forest. A place where ashes become part of the soil, among the trees.
  • Mark the Moment
    This isn’t just another Saturday. It’s a meaningful pause. A way to say goodbye with love and intention.
  • You Don’t Have to Do It Alone
    We’ll take care of the details, offering guidance and support you every step of the way.
  • Be Surrounded by Support
    Everyone here is on a similar journey. This is a kind, gentle space where you’ll feel held by the forest and by community.
  • Choose Life, Even in Loss
    What better place to return to than the forest? Calm, natural, and full of life.
  • Let “Someday” Be Today
    “I spent my whole life growing things… why not become part of the garden now?”

 

This is your garden.

It’s Not a Funeral. It’s a Forest Farewell.

No pews. No funeral potatoes. No pressure.
Just trees, birds and blooms. A moment that feels true and tender.

Wear whatever feels right: hiking boots, sweaters, your heart on your sleeve.
We’ve got the tea. The snacks. The tissues.
And a beautiful place to breathe.
