I don't know what I expected,. But Brian, our host in the forest, turned what might have been a sad and even traumatic experience into a memorably life affirming and positive one.

Great staff. Very helpful and kind.

I purchased a birch tree a few years back, but unfortunately it began showing signs of stress last fall and eventually died. I was invited to select a different tree. The customer care team generously agreed to meet me on Labor Day. I brought my sister and we walked on a beautiful curving trail through the woods while I considered. There were many deer moving through the forest. I even startled a fawn when I exited the composting toilet which was surprisingly odorless by the way! I felt drawn to a sun-dappled area on a ridge and we made our way over there. I was stopped in my tracks by a red cedar with a strong presence. It was tall and strong and its top was bathed in sunlight. I knew I had found my tree. I felt peace.

Gorgeous forest and ocean. The friendliest people helping those who come to mourn. You might want to rest here.

Wonderful place to put your loved one and to return to visit. We had an exceptional tour of the forest, learned a lot from a very knowledgeable arborist. We loved it even more when we left.

My oldest sister and nephew are part of Tree #1, right near the winding white walls. Our family name is engraved on top of walls too. It’s a beautiful place, very serene, lots of trees and facing the ocean. We try to go every few years. I’m glad I found this place.

We were running 40 minutes late. Tom was very kind, gracious and understanding. He encouraged us to take our time and also offered a ride in the utility vehicle. He came to pick us up since it started raining hard. We are truly very appreciative and grateful for his kindness and compassion! Rohit and Amy

Ashley, Athena and Heather were informative and kind. This looks like a good option.

So thankful for Better Place. Second time getting to visit our legacy tree since 2020. Always a delight and Yesenia and Martin were great.

We enjoyed our visit very much. The Better Place Forest is such a calm, beautiful, respectful place. The staff had set up a bench for us to sit and enjoy our Family Memorial Tree. This visit we noticed a brand new Redwood Sorel plant starting to grow heavenward. We were refreshed and renewed. Thank you!
