                    About

                    The Japanese Red Maple is a smaller tree and a cornerstone of Japanese gardening. It presents magnificent red leaves with a unique slender shape. This beautiful small to medium sized tree grows grows to about 15-25' in height at maturity and thrives in a variety of environments and soil conditions. 

                    Wildlife

                    The fruits, known as samaras are loved by squirrels. Rabbits and deer also eat the tender shoots and leaves of red maples.

                    Quirky Facts

                    The first specimen of the tree reached England in 1820 and was named Acer palmatum after the hand-like shape of its leaves. Today there are hundreds of Japanese red maple cultivars available.

                    Maple Memorial Tree

                    The process overall has been wonderful. The tree arrived separately from everything else as they said it would. Both shipments were delivered in the time frame given. The instructions were very clear and easy to follow. The tree arrived looking very healthy. I've had it planted in the ground for about Five weeks now, and it looks great!

                    Exceeded Expectations in Every Way...

                    I had high expectations, but the quality of the urn surpassed anything I could have imagined. I initially thought I had to choose between the tree design and a custom image, but to my delight, the tree was on one side and the custom design on the other. I was able to incorporate the angel wings my father hand-drew for his motorcycle, which made it feel as though he had chosen it himself. Even though I ordered last minute, everything arrived perfectly on time, and the process was simple to follow. I’m incredibly grateful for the help and for offering something so fitting for someone like my father, who cherished nature and freedom. Thank you again for everything, Steve!

                    The tree has only been in the ground about a month, but it is doing beautifully! It arrived quickly, was packaged well, and looked healthy upon arrival. The planting instructions were easy to follow.

                    Frequently Asked Questions

                    Can I order The Living Urn now and get the tree at a later date?

                    Yes, if you would like The Living Urn System now but want to plant at a later date, you can let us know a tree shipment date in the 'notes' section at checkout. Also, if you don't know when you will plant, you can simply ask for a voucher or order The Living Urn with a Voucher for a Tree and we will ship the tree when you are ready. Of course, you can always call us with special instructions if you prefer.

                    We ship The Living Urn System out the same day that you order (assuming the order was placed before 2pm MT, 4pm ET) and we ship the tree whenever you are ready to plant as it is best to plant as soon as you can after receiving your tree. If you are having your Living Urn engraved, we will likely ship it the same day as you ordered. However, since engraving takes time, your Living Urn may ship the next day. If you have any special requests, just give us a call and we will do everything we can to meet your needs.

                    Do you need to include all of the cremated remains with The Living Urn? Or, can I just use a portion of the remains?

                    The Living Urn® Bio Urn and Planting System is designed to be used with as much or as little of one set of cremated remains. It is large enough to hold all of the cremated remains and provide enough room for the additives and tree roots. We also have many customers that will plant only a portion of the cremated remains with The Living Urn. This is the case when families split the cremated remains among siblings and plant multiple memory trees or when people just want to keep some. Our instructions explain any adjustments to make when planting different amounts. Sharing the remains among family to grow multiple memory trees has become very popular.

                    Can I use The Living Urn now for cremated remains that I've stored for years?

                    Yes, absolutely - the age of the ashes or cremated remains has no effect. Many families will plant cremated remains that they have had for many years with The Living Urn!

                    When is the best time of year to plant?

                    We have a lot of families who plant in the Spring, Fall and Summer. All are excellent times of the year to plant trees. All of our trees are shipped in small pots with a healthy root system so they can be safely transplanted in all seasons. If you are in a warmer climate (FL, CA, AZ, NV, parts of TX, GA, TN, SC, AL, LA, MS and more) then Winter can even be an excellent time to plant.

                    Where can I plant The Living Urn?

                    We believe many of our customers will simply plant The Living Urn® on their own property or in their yard. Different cities, etc. have different rules you can look into. We also have lots of customers that will go out and plant their tree in a favorite place or at a local cemetery (this seems to be happening more and more and many cemeteries are open to this option). We also have had lots of people plant Living Urns® on Church properties and many people that have asked and received permission to plant at City, State and even National parks. Also, click here to view the various Cemeteries, Memorial Gardens, and Natural Preserves around the U.S. where you can plant a Living Urn®.

                    When will my Living Urn ship?

                    We ship The Living Urn System out the same day that you order (assuming the order was placed before 2pm MT or 4pm ET) and we ship the tree whenever you are ready to plant as it is best to plant as soon as you can after receiving your tree. If you had your Living Urn engraved, we will likely ship it the same day as you ordered. However, since engraving takes time, your Living Urn may ship the next day. If you have any special requests, just give us a call and we will do everything we can to meet your needs.

                    If you would like The Living Urn System now but want to plant at a later date, you can let us know a tree shipment date in the 'notes' section at checkout. Also, if you don't know when you will plant, you can simply ask for a voucher and we will ship the tree when you are ready. Of course, you can always call us with special instructions if you prefer.

                    I want to use The Living Urn at my home but what if I move?

                    Many of our customers plant their tree in a pot so they can transplant it later wherever they settle. Just make sure the pot is at least 16” tall and 12” wide (but the bigger the better). Another option is to use a portion of the ashes with The Living Urn at your current location and also keep some with you. This way if you move you can simply purchase another Living Urn and plant a new tree with the remaining ashes at your new location. A third option is to order The Living Urn Indoors or The Living Urn Planter and grow a living memory indoors or on a patio.

                    Can I plant in a pot?

                    While many of our customers plant in the ground, we also have a large number that plant in a pot. Be sure to get a large enough pot (at least 16” tall and 12” wide, but the bigger the pot, the better) and use plenty of soil. When you purchase The Living Urn, we provide detailed instructions for planting in a pot.

                    The family program provides you with a discount of 10% off your entire order when ordering more than one urn (simply use discount code FAMILYPROGRAM at checkout) - making it more affordable to pursue the memorial options best suited for your family. 

                    Pre Need (making plans in advance) - also, many families are interested in taking care of plans ahead of time. The Living Urn can be purchased for yourself or in advance for a loved one. The urn has no expiration, and although it is all natural and biodegradable, it will not biodegrade unless it is buried. Therefore, it can be stored safely for many years before use (as long as desired).
