FAQ
We get a lot of questions about our innovative approach to burials. We've compiled a list of frequently asked questions for you to browse below:
What is included in our burial package?
Our burial package includes a Capsula Mundi urn for the natural return of ashes to the earth, a personalized plaque placed on an existing tree, and a dedicated memorial page on our website to honor your loved one. It also includes personalized guidance and support for pre-planning from our team and a session with a certified death doula to ensure your wishes are thoughtfully considered. Additionally, a portion of the package contributes to our endowment fund, which helps maintain and protect the forest cemetery for future generations.
Do you offer pet burials?
Yes, we welcome pets as part of our forest cemetery. You can choose to bury your pet’s ashes alongside yours or in a separate resting place within the cemetery. Our natural burial practices honor the same eco-friendly principles for pets, ensuring they become part of the living forest. When pre-planning your arrangements, you may also choose to pre-plan arrangements for your pet at a discounted rate.
Do you offer a discount for couples or families?

Do you offer shroud burials?
We have received a lot of interest in fully green shroud burials and are diligently working to make this option a reality. If this is your wish, please contact us for a consulation to learn more about the process. We are comitted to offering the greenest burial options available in New Brunswick and working to expand our offerings to meet your needs.
Is cremation really a green option?
Our burial package requires arrangements for cremation to be made, and then ashes are buried in a capsula mundi urn the neutralizes the PH and noursihes the soil. We recognize that cremation is still a resource intensive process that releases pullution into our air and therefore is not the most green option possible. However, due to government legislation, and challenges with our cold winters, we are still working on greener solutions. For now, we are confident that this service is the greenest possible option we can offer, but are diligently working to expand our offerings in the near future.
Are you open in the winter?
Yes! Winter burials are available in some sections of our forest cemetery. Our cemetery is also open for visitors year round. The trails are maintained throughout winter, and cleared for access regularly.
Why should I pre-plan my arrangements?
Pre-planning your end of life arrangements may not be something you've considered before. This is an important step for anyone to take as it relieves the pressure and the financial burden from your loved ones after your passing. Pre-planning your arrangements also allows you to save money by securing your package at our current rates, which are subject to increase in the years to come. It also ensures your wishes and preferences for your end of life are honoured.
