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.
