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.

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.

Can I bring their ashes on the plane?

It's a question we hear often—and understandably, because navigating airport security while grieving can feel overwhelming.

If you're travelling this winter, here's what you need to know for flying from Canada:

✈️ Bring documentation: Pack the certificate of cremation or funeral home paperwork with the container—it doesn't exempt you from screening, but it's important to have.

✈️ The container matters: Plastic, cardboard, cloth, or wood containers are most likely to pass X-Ray screening. Metal, stone, or ceramic urns typically won't be cleared.

✈️ Security can't open containers: Their ashes will be safe and secure. But if it can't be screened while closed, it won't be allowed on board.

✈️ Keep it in your carry-on: Some airlines don't allow cremated remains in checked baggage. So check with your airline, and use your carry-on to avoid lost baggage.

✈️ More than a keepsake portion? For more than 350 ml (about 10% of a full urn) Canadian Air Transport Security Authority suggests considering air cargo or other shipping, as dense materials like cremation ashes can be difficult to screen.

💡 Our tip: Use a travel-friendly temporary container for the flight. If you're creating a memorial at your destination, AWAKE Memorial Planting Kits work perfectly with these containers—giving you a meaningful way to honour them once you arrive.

Travelling with grief is real. Planning ahead can make it gentler.

Why did two women in their 30s risk it all to enter the funeral space?

👇This is us, Amanda and Lauren. It started as a tale of unfortunate events. After losing several loved ones in quick succession, we found ourselves searching for a memorial that felt right—something personal, beautiful, and that gave back to the earth. Simple, right?

Like most Canadians, our families chose cremation. But what we discovered shocked us: cremation ashes are actually harmful to plants, with a pH similar to bleach and off-the-chart levels of sodium and calcium. To top it off, there were no science-backed solutions available in all of Canada.

So we changed that.

🪴Working with world-leading scientists and innovators, we offer a patented soil blend that transforms cremated remains into plant-friendly, organic earth. Today, our Memorial Planting Kits are available at funeral homes across
, and cemeteries across are rolling out entire gardens with our product.

If you’ve ever wondered whether there’s a better way to remember those we love, we’d be honoured to have you follow along. Together, we can make a greener ending. 🌿

🌱 Cemeteries have an incredible opportunity to be leaders in local sustainability while meeting growing demand for green options.

Our co-founder Amanda sat down with the to talk about how cemeteries are transforming into vibrant, natural spaces that families actually want to visit.

Public interest in green options is rising. We help cemetery operators create beautiful eco-friendly cremation sections, implement sustainable practices, and nurture living memorials that become community assets for generations.

Your cemetery can be part of this shift. Let’s talk about what’s possible. 💚

Families are asking for something different.

60% of families now want their ashes in nature—but many cemeteries struggle to offer meaningful natural options that are:

✓ Financially sustainable
✓ Easy to maintain long-term
✓ Dignified and beautiful

That’s where Ashes to Earth Infinity Gardens come in.

Our regenerative community gardens use patented soil science to transform cremated remains into plant-friendly material that nourishes the earth. Unlike DIY scattering gardens, every interment contributes to a living cycle of renewal. And unlike traditional plots, these gardens never run out of space.

For families, they provide a peaceful, affordable memorial without the burden of upkeep. And for your cemetery, additional annual revenue, lower operating costs, and something families genuinely want.

Scattering gardens aren’t just an amenity or a trend. They’re becoming an expectation.

If you’d like to see our Infinity Gardens at your local cemetery, forward them this post and let’s start a conversation.
