How to add a spreading (person or pet)

You are able to share your tree by purchasing rights to spread the cremated remains of additional people or pets at any time.

You will need to work with the General Manager of your forest or one of our Customer Care team members to add a spreading to your tree purchase. Once you reach out, we will be able to help facilitate the process.

The base price for adding another person is $1500 and a pet starts at $300. An Amendment to your contract will be created and an invoice for the additional costs will be automatically emailed to you.

There is no upper limit as to how many spreadings can be placed at one tree but there are restrictions to how many can be placed at one time.

If you get stuck or have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to reach out. You can call or text us at 628-237-3922 or email us at care@betterplaceforests.org.
