“I cannot say enough positive things about my experience. The staff are always incredible and my family and I feel so much peace going to see my dad. He never wanted to be in a cemetery, and this is the perfect alternative. Thank you for everything! We now have so many others who want to do the same thing since they found out about this!”
“I’m so glad I found this place as my sister didn’t want to be put in a regular cemetery. My sisters and I have visited several times and always feel good knowing my sister and nephew have a great view of the ocean.”
“My hopes were very high. The beauty and peace of the forest exceeded all expectations. A perfect day, a happy day! July 2022 I received a postcard about Better Place Forests. In a planning mode, I contacted them. Tad answered my many questions, and I chose a Young Tanoak at Point Arena for me and four beloved dogs: Jamie & Megan (deceased) and Tess & Kate. Loved this option of a final resting place, not knowing Tess would die soon and Kate a year later. May 2023 I traveled from Bakersfield to Point Arena to see our tree. Alethea graciously showed me our lovely tree, took photos and gave me a tour of the forest. Now it is 2026, and Better Place Forests is becoming a nonprofit to expand its preservation mission. I will add May, a sweet terrier mix I adopted from the local shelter last August, so some day she will join us in beautiful Point Arena Forest. With love and gratitude, I thank the BPF founders and staff.”
“We’ve been to the forest in CT twice to feel the spirit of helping the world become a better place.”
“I purchased my tree a few years both my son and father’s ashes are exactly the place they wanted to be! I’m very happy with the overall process it’s so peaceful and absolutely breathtaking! I highly recommend this company they will help you every step of the way…”

Military funeral honors are guaranteed at no cost for any veteran discharged under conditions other than dishonorable. The funeral home arranges the honors detail by contacting the deceased's last unit or the nearest active-duty installation of the appropriate branch and submitting the DD-214 to verify eligibility.
For requests less than 72 hours from service time, families can call the Department of Defense's expedited honors line at 1-877-MIL-HONR (1-877-645-4667). See the full honors protocol.
