Walk the Forest

About the Forest

MG Testimonials Carousel

Today my brother lives on forever among trees at Wellington Dam. With my mum, dad, and daughter, I said goodbye after 35 years. From death comes life, the circle complete. Cherish your family.

Christina Lisson Honouring her brother at Wellington Dam

Really peaceful place to bury your loved ones ashes under a tree. They can live on as part of a native tree and family and friends have a perfect place to visit.

Keven Kerrison Found a lasting resting place in nature

Very peaceful place for the burial of my grandfather Jimmy. The owners have great compassion and understanding of family bonds, knowing you by name, not just a transaction.

Jeffrey Chen Laid his grandfather Jimmy to rest

My husband and I have a tree here. Visited recently and the sunlight filtering through was beautiful. There's a kiosk nearby and bush camps if you want to make a weekend of it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there any cost or obligation to attend?
None. The Open Day is free to attend and there is no expectation that you do anything as a result of coming. You are welcome to walk the forest, ask every question you have, and go away to think about it.

No. A large portion of visitors are pre-planning for themselves or with a spouse. The conversation is different depending on where you are, and our team is used to both.

Pricing is covered in full at the Open Day. It depends on species and location within the forest. There are no hidden costs. The brochure also outlines what is included in the full planting package.

Yes. These decisions are rarely made alone. Partners, adult children, and siblings are all welcome. Having the conversation together in the forest often makes it easier.

The forest is located near Worsley in Southwest WA, roughly 40 minutes from Bunbury. From Perth it is approximately two hours by car. Specific directions are sent when you register.

Private site visits can be arranged by calling us or submitting the schedule a call form. Open Days run regularly through the year. Register your interest and we will contact you when the next date is confirmed.
