AWAKE

Canada’s leader in eco-friendly resting places. Giving families a greener goodbye, turning ashes to earth with our patented soil solution and smart design.

02/27/2026

When someone you love dies, you don’t have to have the answer.

You don’t have to decide today.

You don’t have to know how to honour them. Or when. Or where.

You don’t have to “be ready.”

Just being here is enough. 🌱

The right memorial choice will be ready when the time comes.

💬 Know someone in this place? Let them know you’re there when they need you—whenever that may be.

More people are looking for funeral and memorial options that feel gentler, both for the earth and for those who are grieving.

One way we know this? has noted a 22% increase in Google searches for “green burial.”

If eco options matter to you, it’s okay to ask your funeral home:

“What green memorial options do you offer?”
It’s a question that helps create change.

Tell us your city/province and we’ll help you with what to ask (and how to ask it).

Okay, we need your eyes on this. 👀🌿

They weren’t “just a pet.” They were family.

When someone loses a companion, specific questions help open the door to healing.

While a general “sorry for your loss” is probably appreciated, try one of these instead:

1 “I know they were family. Do you remember the day you met?”
2 “Do you remember when... (share a memory)?”
3 “Is there a place where you felt most connected to them?”
4 “I’m lighting a candle for (pet’s name) tonight.”

Grief for our animals is real grief. And it deserves to be honoured with the same tenderness we’d share for any loss.

🤍 What words have helped you when mourning a companion?

Many people feel pulled to a place that meant something: a lake, a shoreline, a trail, a cottage, a favourite park.

A recent survey in the U.S. found people are choosing natural landmarks as their ideal place to scatter ashes.

It made us wonder: where are Canadian families choosing for their memorials?

If you feel comfortable, share a place that feels meaningful to you—it could be “the cottage”, “Georgian Bay”, or even just “the rockies”.

Not sure what’s allowed or what your options are? A local funeral home can help guide you, and share options like memorial planting for families who want nature and a place to return to. If you need an introduction, just let us know.

🫶 Save this + share with someone who’s navigating “what next”.

1 in 5 Canadian homes hold cremation ashes—and 40% are listed as “Other.”

Not parent, grandparent, spouse, or sibling.

Other.

That means the friend who knew you better than anyone.
The aunt who believed in you first.
The companion who greeted you at the door every single day.
The chosen family who stayed through it all.

This Valentine’s Day, we’re thinking about all the loves that don’t have a greeting card section. The bonds that were real, deep, and life-changing—even if they didn’t have a traditional label.

Your grief is valid. Your love is valid. And they deserve to be honoured in whatever way feels right to you.

💘 Who are you holding space for this Valentine’s?

Nature-based memorials can be beautiful, and they work best when they’re set up properly.

We’ve seen that when planting is done with the right care and soil approach, it reduces heartbreak (like plants failing) and creates a place families can return to for comfort.

If you’re considering a living memorial, it’s okay to ask questions, to choose an option that’s built to last. 🌿

🩵 Save this for later, or send to someone exploring memorial options.

02/09/2026

Not every family wants the same thing, and that’s the point.

Some people want scattering. Some want a place to return to. Some want both.

More funeral homes are offering memorial planting as an option, such as our partners Fawcett Funeral Home in Collingwood & Creemore.

Save this + share with someone who’s been asking “what do we do next?”

02/05/2026

Some people think choosing a memorial means “moving on.”

We don’t. 🌿

It means your grief has taken shape. And for memorial plantings, that your memory now has roots.
That love lives on in something green and growing.

You don’t have to let go, but you can choose how to hold on.
