Self-planned his own Living Legacy Tree.
“I will be around and I will help a tree grow.”
After her diagnosis, Jackie started thinking about how she wanted to plan for the end of her life. She wanted to make those decisions ahead of time and find something that felt positive to her.
What appealed to Jackie about Mornington Green was the idea of becoming part of something living. Knowing that she could help a tree grow and that the tree would be cared for gave her a sense of satisfaction.
She also liked that it was different from a traditional graveyard. For Jackie, the peaceful natural setting made the idea of planning for the end of life feel less confronting.
The cost was another consideration. After comparing it with the cost of a traditional funeral, Jackie felt that it was reasonable and acceptable.
Ultimately, Jackie found comfort in knowing that she had made her choice and that her Living Legacy would give her a peaceful place while helping a tree continue to grow.
