Scatter Garden

$325

When the time comes, your ashes will be scattered with care on our private property, which overlooks the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains and portions of the James River. A personalized, engraved memorial stone will be placed beneath the tree.

Memory Tree

$425

We will plant an evergreen tree on our secluded private property, located in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia. Once your order is placed, we will plant the tree in your honor. Then, when the time comes, we will respectfully incorporate your ashes with fresh ground cover around the base of the tree.A personalized, engraved memorial stone will be placed beneath the tree.

Some Common Questions Regarding Pre-Planning:

Do you perform some kind of ceremony when you scatter the ashes?

We can say a requested prayer or verse, but it is not an actual ceremony. Our ash scattering is meant to take place after the family has held their memorial service or carried out their funeral plan. (We do not conduct memorial services.)

Can families visit the Scattering Garden or the Memory Tree one day?

We do open the Rest Ashured property for two “Days of Celebration” — once in the spring and then again in the fall. On these two days, we invite family and friends to remember and celebrate their late loved ones.

Can my family scatter my ashes?

While Rest Ashured usually scatters the ashes of a loved one, we really do try to accommodate all requests. We will be happy to work with the family when the time comes.

Why don’t you offer Burial at Sea in your pre-planning services?

Because of many costs associated with this service that are out of our control (fuel prices, boat charter fees, etc.), we are not able to project what the cost will be at the time of a future scattering. We suggest letting your family know of your wishes or funeral plan. They can contact us when the time comes.

Military & First Responder Discount

On behalf of a grateful family, Rest Ashured is pleased to provide a 50% discount for those whose loved one has served our great country (including prior military and first responders).

In order to receive the Condolence Code necessary for the discount, we request the appropriate documentation verifying the person’s service. This could be a copy of their discharge form, ID card, certificate, etc. If these are not available, please give us a call to discuss other forms of verification.

This discount does not apply to burial at sea.
