AWAKE

One in five Canadian families have the ashes of a loved one at home, unsure of what to do next.

We met with Collingwood Today about our partnership with Fawcett Funeral Homes Limited to help these families create meaningful memorials in nature.

🤍 Grief has no single path.

🌱 We created our Memorial Planting Kits to give funeral directors the tools to offer families meaningful, flexible options that honour both tradition and personal remembrance.

🪴 Each planting kit opens doors to endless memorial opportunities, at home or in nature, using patented soil science that turns cremated remains into organic earth.

💚 was one of the first funeral homes to offer our Memorial Planting Kits (which they sold out of in two months!) and its with their valuable feedback we’ve been able to develop our new Keepsake Size. Brad Jones shared his thoughts on our kits, and we couldn’t agree more!

“We need to embrace scattering in our cemeteries. We see families coming from everywhere because we allow scatterings...They add acceptance.”

“People are looking for different options. For some it’s economic, for some it’s what they’ve always wanted. When cemeteries accept this, we become relevant again and people don’t go and throw remains just anywhere.”

💭 We spoke with J-P Narbonne, manager of cemetery services at about their Infinity Garden, installed this summer to compliment their new columbaria and cremation area.

🌱We’re growing! As part of our mission to provide sustainable memorialization options for cremation, we are launching a pilot program with select funeral homes across Ontario!

🪴AWAKE’s new Memorial Planting Kits are now available in at funeral home and Cardinal Funeral Home, with additional partners onboarding this summer.

🍃Just like our tried-and-true cemetery solutions, our new Memorial Planting Kits use patented soil science to turn Ashes to Earth for beautiful, healthy, eco-friendly cremation memorials—but this time, at home!

🌏We’re so excited to build this pilot program with bereavement professionals and give families the freedom to create personalized memorials that nourish the earth.

Our site visit to Toronto’s oldest cemetery this week was out of this world.

📍St. James Cemetery opened in 1844. Their beautiful chapel is a designated national heritage site, and still hosts ceremonies today! It’s an oasis of nature in the heart of the city—and it’s about to get even more stunning 🌹🌷🕊️

So excited to share updates on this one-of-a-kind project as the magic unfolds. Buckle up friends, our Infinity Gardens are coming to the big city!

Thank you to our friends in Bracebridge and area at Reynolds Funeral Home Turner Chapel for sharing this! Scattering or spreading ashes at the cottage creates such a special memorial for families, and sense of peace when planning a meaningful resting place.
