For the average American, the cost of a funeral is the third-largest expenditure after a house and car. Our all-inclusive service offers innovative financing plans that allow you to pay off your own Grove over the course of your life, starting at $25/month. By choosing a Transcend Burial, you’re ensuring that your family doesn’t get stuck with a large unexpected bill in the end, and that you are honored in a way that feels like you.
Due to the incredible carbon-absorbing power of forests, scientists believe planting 1.2 trillion trees could meaningfully offset the most harmful effects of climate change. To help reach that goal, Transcend plants 1,000 trees in reforestation projects worldwide for every Grove reserved. What’s special about our model is that we plant those trees at the time of decision—not the time of death—so that your impact is immediate and can be felt throughout your lifetime. This means that if 1 in 7 people decide they want to become a tree in the future, we’ll be able to clean the air for everything and everybody…starting today.
The body is buried in organic biodegradable flax linen along with Transcend’s unique blend of fungi-enriched soil so that it can become one with the Earth over time.
With a young tree planted above it, our mushrooms work their magic to ensure a direct connection between the nutrient-rich body and the tree’s root system so that the body can literally become the tree.
Gather family and friends for a ceremony in a beautiful spot that can be revisited for lifetimes. As part of the ecosystem, you live on long after death as the cycle of life continues...
Inspired by the ancient practice of natural burial, Tree Burial is fully people and Earth-centric, surpassing the limited default options available today in every way.
Your one-time $100 membership unlocks many benefits now and in the future, for you and your people. Immediately, we are able to accelerate your impact by planting 100 trees through our non-profit reforestation partner, the Arbor Foundation. When Grove reservations open, you will enjoy priority Grove placement and choice of tree species, as well as a guaranteed individual Grove price of $8,500 (regardless of future dynamic pricing). Additionally, you will have exclusive access to 0% APR financing for up to 35 years, with annual payments as low as $25/month.

Lock in preferential pricing, location and benefits for them today, and when reservations open soon, you will be able to reserve specific Groves together.
Transcend is building a network of Tree Burial forests across the globe. You can transfer your Grove to any Transcend location within our network at any time.
Cremation is the incineration of a perfectly nutrient-rich body. Not only does it waste valuable nutrients, it also emits massive amounts of pollutive carbon into the atmosphere (600 million pounds per year, to be exact!) along with heavy metals like mercury. To give you a sense, a single cremation has roughly the same domestic energy demands as an individual in the U.S for an entire month. On the other hand, Tree Burial removes 5.8x more carbon from the atmosphere than a cremation emits, literally cleaning the air we breathe. In this industry, oftentimes there is no clear definition of what “all-inclusive” pricing means. When it comes to cremation, the actual cremation is typically the least expensive part of the greater cost you are likely to incur. Transcend is committed to total pricing transparency, offering one truly all-inclusive fee for the funeral service, planting ceremony, land maintenance, and more.
