When the plants grow your loved one’s ashes will be a part of them and you will know that you are watching them and will always have a part of them near you at all times.   

Forest 

If you want to make your loved one a part of the forest and nature you can plant their ashes around the base of a tree. This is a nice way to contribute to making the world a little better and can be a nice gesture for remembering your loved one in a special way. You can find a small forest in a park or just take a hike and find a place to plant a tree. Spread the ashes with the tree and mark the tree so when you want to come back and visit your loved one you will know where to find them. 

Wildflowers
