Thank you for our wonderful visit on Saturday. We were impressed with our guides and their knowledge. Loved my tree, it's personality is a little bent just like me. We will be back for picking apples in October. The area is beautiful. Already made a canvas print of my tree. Thank you so much for a great time Patty Machal Jobeth, Dan, Dawson and Malakai

The experience exceeded my expectations. The only problem was getting there roadway not well marked and the dirt road was rough, definitely need a SUV or a truck (bottomed out in midsize car). The team there was very compassionate and respectful to my family and friends. The area was beautiful and peaceful and it made the most beautiful private ceremony as were my family wishes.

It is a beautiful area no matter what the season. Every time we have visited my mom’s tree there has been a wooden bench to sit on and reflect. A walkie talkie is assigned to us so we can contact them when we are ready for pick up. During cooler seasons a wool blanket has made our stay more comfortable. The 4 person, covered ATV is a blessing because my dad cannot walk long distances. Thank you everyone at Better Place Forests Berkshires for being the caretakers of our loved ones.

I could not have picked a better place to lay my mother to rest. Everyone I interacted with was so helpful, kind and patient. I did an initial tour of the area shortly after my mother's passing, but I didn't feel quite ready to move forward with making a decision. I never felt rushed in the year and a half it took me to be finally ready to move forward to planning my mother's memorial. They were very accommodating with my request for repeated visits to ensure I was satisfied with our tree selection. The service itself was beautiful. We were in really good hands with Chad. The forest is beautiful and well maintained, and the surrounding area is lovely to explore.

We love living in Connecticut, and the forest in Litchfield is a beautiful and serene place. We saw brass medallions of a few of our eternal neighbors while visiting our tree.

We had a wonderful experience with better place Forest staff. The whole transaction went smooth, everybody was very kind, and they were even respectful with brushing off the extra ashes that might have been on their hands and washing out the bucket and adding it to the basement of the tree.

Peaceful location and the staff are so considerate of the trees and families

Brought our adult children and their (almost) adult children to introduce everyone to our forever memorial tree. A great experience for all.

We had a wonderful service for my daughter who died far too young. The staff was a pleasure to work with and made the experience easy but meaningful. It may seem like an odd way to be interred but it changed many of our minds about life after. 🩶

Tour guide was very informative, friendly and considerate. Learned a lot about the trees and the procedures of the memorial services.
