What kind of tree will you be?

Many of us find the end of our story unsettling.

A jacaranda in full lavender-blue bloom.

Black swans on a park lake, with reeds in the foreground and parkland beyond.

A willow leaning over still water, its branches trailing to the surface.

A dense bed of wildflowers in cosmos pink, white and gold.

A paddock with a horse grazing, an old timber shed and trees along the fence line.

A cymbidium orchid in flower in a glazed pot.

Australian bushland regenerating, with new growth coming up between the trees.

A stone bowl planted with many kinds of succulent.

A flowering cherry bonsai in a shallow dish.

A glass terrarium planted with mosses, ferns and small leafy plants.

This is what our future could look like with terramation, a new option alongside burial and cremation that isn’t yet legal in Australia.

Legal jurisdictions have already proved it works. Evergrove aims to be one of the first Australian providers, and eventually to operate in other parts of the world too. We’re closely examining the living memorial possibilities that terramation creates through our research and partnerships. If NSW legalisation goes through in 2026, we expect to be operational by 2030/31, though that is only an estimate at this stage.

You can help by joining the movement to share where you want terramation, and talking about how you want your story to end with your loved ones.
