A beautiful forest can be a fi nal resting place that brings comfort to family and friends (NAPSI)—The vast majority of Americans have not complet- ed their end-of-life planning. In fact, over half of those age 45- plus have done no end-of-life planning at all, according to a recent survey conducted by Better Place Forests, the coun- try’s fi rst sustainable alternative to cemeteries for families that choose cremation. Better Place Forests hopes the idea of a beautiful, sustain- able fi nal resting place will en- courage people to create those plans. Instead of tombstones, the company incorporates ashes into the base of beautiful trees in permanently protected for- ests. The company performs spreading ceremonies in the forest, where families can gath- er to say goodbye. Currently, there are two forests in Califor- nia, in Point Arena in Mendoci- no County and in Santa Cruz, and the company plans to open more across the country. There is a growing trend to- ward greener burial options in the United States. According to the National Funeral Di- rectors Association, nearly 54 percent of Americans are con- sidering a green burial and 72 percent of cemeteries report an increased demand for green burials. Thousands of people have already reserved trees for themselves. “Making plans and establish- ing guidelines for the end of your life means that loved ones don’t have to guess about your wishes and you can give them the experience you’d like them to have when you pass,” ex- plained Sandy Gibson, CEO of Better Place Forests. “At Better Place Forests, we talk to peo- ple every day who fi nd peace in knowing they have created a beautiful experience for their loved ones by selecting a fam- ily tree.” Beyond providing a more beautiful fi nal resting place, choosing a tree in one of these memorial forests means you are leaving a legacy of conser- vation. The company performs spreading ceremonies in the forest, where families can gath- er to say goodbye and continue to visit—a feature current cre- mation options can’t provide. The trusts also actively manage the land to ensure that it’s less susceptible to forest fi res. They hire forestry experts to keep the trees healthy and the forests free of invasive species. In ad- dition, more trees are planted in areas in need for every tree a customer chooses. Thousands of trees have already been planted in forests devastated by the California wildfi res.
