"In 1988, Liz met Stephanie Smythe, and they began a relationship that lasted until her passing. Liz moved from Boulder to Louisville, and their shared lives included cats (despite Liz’s previously expressed dislike of cats, she became a loving cat “parent”). The routines of daily life were accented by travel, including many trips to the west coast of the US, Alaska, Hawaii, New Zealand, India, Panama, the Galapagos Islands, Iceland, Scotland and Costa Rica."

"Catherine M. Beckman of Fort Collins, Colorado, shuffled off her mortal coil on Monday, February 23, 2026, at 10 am sharp at the age of 72. She had planned on living until at least the 35th anniversary of her heart transplant, this upcoming Thanksgiving. Instead, she took off early to join family and friends who had gone before her, including Joshua, the young boy whose heart she carried and protected through the second half of her life."⁠

Grief is something we learn to carry together - we are not meant to grieve alone. Join us for seasonal grief gatherings at Be a Tree Cremation that draw on the support of the natural world, the energy of the changing seasons, and the power of community to resource us in our grief. These gatherings are gentle & interactive spaces where you can be with your own grief and share with others. This spring, we will gather to create mini bouquets of vibrant flowers to honor our loved ones with beauty & creativity, and each participant will have the chance to share and be witnessed in their grief.

All are welcome.

Space is limited to 30 people. Save your spot now.

Spring scenes from The Wild Animal Sanctuary.

Did you know that one of the places Tree Tea from Water Cremation is donated to the land is at the Wild Animal Sanctuary in Keenesburg, CO?

We have the privilege of nourishing trees in the non-habitat areas of the Sanctuary.

Not only is it a wonderful place to visit, with an elevated walkway above the vast animal habitats, but they also do incredible work, rescuing animals who are suffering around the world and rehabilitating and releasing them into habitats where they can live peaceful lives.

"He possessed an insatiable curiosity and was fascinated by nature, history, languages, walls of sound, art, geology, and especially the cosmos. He had a sharp eye for design and beauty that he pored into his historic homes, and was ever fascinated by gestures as Milan Kundera wrote of them. While he battled cancer, Shawn added a tattoo to his chest to remind himself and us all: Tutto Passa (Everything Passes). Shawn Ahlers died peacefully but far too soon on the Ides of March with Suzie and Elly holding his hands. He is forever loved and missed."

"In her final days, Nancy spoke often of “fearlessness and joy” — a prayer she carried for herself and for those she loved. It is how she lived, and how she hopes others will continue."

One of the most common questions we get is, "How does the cost of Water Cremation compare to Fire Cremation"?

Let's take a look!

First, let's talk about "direct" or "basic" cremation packages. These should include everything you need for a cremation (paperwork, permits, urn, transportation, etc.), but do not include a memorial service, viewing, or other extras.

In the Denver metro area, here's how we compare to the range of "direct cremation" pricing. Prices vary widely, but here is what we found:

Cheapest basic fire cremation: $820
Be a Tree's basic Water Cremation: $3,950
Most expensive basic fire cremation: $5,900

Our goal is always to be approachable and accessible with our pricing while ensuring the longevity of our organization.

We offer special pricing for children, Burial Assistance (through the county), and a no-cost option through whole body donation.

It can be difficult to compare prices due to differences in customer service, speed, urns, etc., but transparency should always be offered. Make sure you request a General Price List wherever you go.

"To those who knew him, Chris was a gentle giant. With his intense blue eyes and commanding presence, he could appear intimidating at first glance, but underneath was the softest, most protective heart. He was lovingly known as our “Wreck-It Ralph,” fierce in love, loyal beyond measure, and tender in ways that felt almost magical. His hugs were legendary; when Chris embraced you, your soul seemed to quiet. In his arms, everything felt like it would be okay."

Stacy Houston Brewer 💜
May 19, 1989 - January 24, 2026
"Stacy was all things funny, with an amazing laugh that will be deeply missed. She was hard-working, determined, smart, full of life, adventurous, talented, a champion for the underdog, outspoken, silly and spunky in the best of ways and never met a stranger. Although small, she was mighty, with a force to be reckoned with. A piece of our hearts will forever be broken until we reunite in Heaven."
