For the ones who wagged, meowed, chirped, and snuggled.

We remember you.

You mattered deeply.

🌱 Memorials aren’t just for humans. And there’s no “right” way to remember. Only what feels good to your heart.

For many people grieving a loss, deciding what to do with ashes can feel overwhelming. But there’s no rush, and no single “right” choice.

For some families, planting becomes a gentle way to honour a life when the time feels right. 🌱

If a living memorial feels meaningful to you, you can ask your local funeral home or cemetery, or DM us about becoming available in your area.

Sometimes it feels like you’ve gone “backwards.”
But maybe you’re just circling around something that still needs tending.

Grief moves in spirals.

It deepens. It loops. It surprises you years later.

That doesn’t mean you’re stuck — it just means you’re human.

Soil works the same way.
🌱 It settles into layers.
🌀 It evolves over cycles.
🌾 It gets richer with time.

If you feel like your healing isn’t linear, it’s not because you’re doing it wrong. It’s because you’re growing.

💬 If this resonates, share it with someone who needs to hear it. And if you wish options like this were available in your community, let us know. Change starts with a conversation.

Honouring a loved one and helping the planet can go hand in hand. 🌍💡

Cremation is common now, but many don’t realize that pure ‘ashes’ aren’t great for the earth. We’re changing that. Every AWAKE memorial kit lets you turn ashes into a living tree or garden, instead of leaving a footprint of hard, inorganic minerals. It’s part of a new wave of eco-conscious remembrance – think green burials, sustainable urns, and living memorials sprouting across Canada💡.

When you choose to plant a memorial, you’re not just remembering your person in a beautiful way; you’re also giving back to nature.

A shade tree for future generations, a bloom for the bees... All nourished by love. 🌿✨ It’s a legacy that grows and nourishes, in every way.

January can hold a strange kind of ache. Short days. Cold light. Quiet rooms.

“Blue Monday” may not be science, but it names a feeling many of us know.

If this season has felt tender, we want you to know you’re not alone. There’s nothing wrong with you for moving slow, for pausing, for crying when you didn’t expect to.

This may be your season of stillness. And then, when you’re ready, it may be the beginning of planting something new. 🌱

A cup of tea. A quiet morning. A moment to remember. This season is about small comforts.

Our memorial kits are designed for that first, small step: Turning ashes into earth. Memory into roots. Grief into ritual.

🌱 If you’re planning for spring, now is a soft place to start.

💬 Save this or send it to someone who’s been thinking about how to begin.

Let’s break the myth: ashes alone don’t nourish plants.
But we turn them into something that can 🧬

Through testing, rebalancing, and careful transformation, our process turns cremated remains into a soft, living soil. So your memory garden grows roots that last.

DM us to learn more about your options for memorializing a loved one.

If your spirit were a plant…
What would it look like?
What would it smell like?
Would it be wild or gentle? Sprawling or rooted?

Pets are family.

Whether they were with us for 2 years or 20, their absence can leave a hole in our hearts.

Let’s normalize grieving our animals with the same softness, ritual, and respect.

How would you honour your pet? Let us know how we can be part of your grief journey in the comments.

Many people don’t realize that cremation ashes aren’t compatible with planting soil.

Left as-is, ashes can harm the very plants we hope will honour someone’s memory.

That’s why we created our Memorial Planting Kits — with our signature soil blend, patented to transform ashes into rich, plant-safe soil. So when you’re ready to grow something in their name, it can thrive. 🌱

If you’ve dreamt of a memorial tree, a garden, or even a pot on your balcony, we’re here to help make it real — gently and respectfully.
