Instead of remaining static, the ashes become a part of the tree, creating a lasting, living connection. This process allows you to literally become one with nature, as your life continues through the growth and vitality of the tree, contributing to a sustainable ecosystem for generations to come.

Today my brother lives on forever, amongst the beautiful trees at Wellington Dam. With my mum, dad, and daughter, I finally got to say goodbye I’d been waiting 35 years for. From death comes to life and the circle is now complete. Cherish your family for you, and they, are here for but a moment.

Really peaceful place to bury your loved ones ashes under a
tree. They can live on as a part of a native tree and generations of family and friends that were in their lives have a perfect place to visit and just be with their thoughts and memories.

Very peaceful place for the burial of my grandfather Jimmy. The owners of this place have great compassion, and a great sense of understanding of the family bond that comes with each and every life that comes and goes. I am immensely impressed that the people that run this place know you by your name and not just a transaction.

My husband and I have a tree here. Visited the other month and the sunlight filtering through was so beautiful If you want toilets etc there is a kiosk just up the road at the dam and bush camps if you want to make a weekend of it. Pretty sure dogs can visit with responsible owners (e.g. on lead and poo taken away, not left in the plastic bag!)
Melody Jones
The people who work here are friendly. The place is peaceful. Much nicer place for your loved ones to be layed to rest.
