Chose a Living Legacy Tree for her husband, Steve.

“This was an absolutely perfect way.”

When Anne needed to make decisions about Steve’s ashes, a friend told her about Mornington Green. She had promised Steve that they would be together, and the Living Legacy offered her a way to keep that promise.

Anne and Steve were given a choice of three trees, and they chose a beautiful Ornamental Pear. The tree is number 18, which happens to be Steve’s birth date. To Anne, it felt like it was meant to be.

What Anne loves about Mornington Green is that it feels like a living cemetery. Instead of being placed in the ground beneath a slab, she and Steve will be part of a living tree that will be cared for forever.

Knowing that their tree will continue to be looked after, regardless of whether future generations visit, gives Anne peace. She is thrilled to know that she will one day be there with Steve and their little puppy, Wally.
