What are you really deciding?

It comes down to three things

After cremation a few decisions remain, but the right questions make them easier.

What happens to the body?

Cremation is a clear, simple and practical first step. Handled with care and coordinated online.

What happens to the ashes?

After cremation, families have options. Keep some, spread some or find a home in nature.

Where does remembrance live?

A Memorial Tree is a living place in a protected forest where families can return, for generations.

Decide with confidence. One conversation. Clear answers. No obligations.
What happens to the body?

Complete cremation

Complete cremation is simple by design. Care begins immediately after death, and cremation follows without a funeral service. Everything is handled online.

Ashes are returned to your family, and you choose what comes next—a memorial when you’re ready, in a place that feels right. No rigid timelines. No unnecessary complexity.

Simple

Coordinated all online. No in-person meetings, no unnecessary steps.

Transparent

One all-inclusive price. No hidden fees, no surprise bills.

Personal

A memorial shaped around you—not a format informed by tradition.

Carbon-Neutral

Why families choose cremation

A choice that reflects modern values

Many are choosing cremation—not by default, but deliberately. It offers something traditional burial can’t: flexibility, transparency, and a memorial shaped around you.

Flexibility

Cremation lets you gather when the time is right. No rigid timeline. No pressure to decide anything before you’re ready.

Cost transparency

Environmental care

Carbon-neutral cremation is for families who care about their footprint and want a resting place that protects nature.

Personal meaning

As tradition fades, cremation makes space for something intentional. A memorial that reflects the person being honored.

What happens to the ashes?

What comes next
is yours to decide

After cremation many families feel uncertain about what comes next. That’s normal. Knowing your options is the first step to feeling clear.

When ashes are still at home

Holding ashes and not
sure what comes next?

Cremation may have happened months or years ago. That’s more common than you might think.

If ashes are still at home you can still:

How cremation and memorials work together

Cremation answers one question,
Memorial Trees answer another

Many assume cremation is the whole plan. It’s actually the first step. What comes after is where remembrance lives, and that’s its own decision.

Your Everis cremation plan already includes a resting place in a Spreading Grove. A Memorial Tree is a private addition—your own tree, your own place, for as many people and pets as you want to add over time.

Memorial Tree

A living place where remembrance lives

Where will remembrance live on

Remembrance isn’t
set in tombstone

Where remembrance lives doesn’t have to be set in tombstone. There are places that feel alive, places that grow and carry memories forward.

A Spreading Grove is included in your Everis plan. For something more personal, a Memorial Tree roots remembrance in a place that reflects who they were.

A lot of families find that once they discover Memorial Trees, the decision gets a lot easier.
