Laid her partner, Kim, to rest with a living tree.
“It’s not very Gothic, it’s lively.”
Kim’s passing was sudden, and for Liwanen, it still felt like it had only happened yesterday. It was a difficult and emotional time, but she understood that this was part of life and something that had to be faced.
The ceremony at Mornington Green was a smooth and straightforward process. Having such a supportive team made everything easier for Liwanen during a difficult time.
What stood out to her was how different the experience felt from a traditional funeral. Instead of feeling dark or gothic, Mornington Green felt lively and full of life. It created a different kind of atmosphere while still providing a meaningful place to lay Kim to rest.
For Liwanen, knowing that Kim would be laid to rest alongside a tree made the choice feel right. She believes he would have loved the place and would have been happy with what they chose for him.
