Planting Memorial Trees

Things to consider

Cremated ashes can weigh up to 3kgs.

If you wish to scatter or include a loved one’s ashes with a tree planting, then ensure you do some research first.  Ashes can have a very high salt content that may not be suitable for direct plantings unless treated.
