Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a Living Legacy Tree Cost?

What happens if the tree dies?
Our Living Legacy Forest was carefully chosen for its excellent conditions and low risk for fire, flood and drought. If a tree does die, it is replaced by us at our cost. We use mulch where possible to pass on the energy from the tree.
I have pet ashes. Can my fur babies have a memorial in the forest?
YES, our families love that their pets ashes and memorial can be placed with their tree.

Living Legacy Forest has a council permit, a conservation and heritage covenant, and a member review committee. Customers are also protected under Australian Consumer Law. In addition, 20% of the tree sales fund a trust, dedicated to ongoing tree care and maintenance. Luke talks about this in more depth in a video.
I have kept the ashes of a loved one in an urn, can I still create a Legacy Tree for them?
While cremation methods have changed over time, ashes do not have a “used by” date. The Living Legacy procedure has been proven to work with cremated ashes dating back to the 1960’s.
