Although Tree Burial is safe and legal, we recommend that you consult with your local municipality and housing association (if applicable) regarding pet burial regulations in private backyards as specific rules may vary.

If your pet could talk, odds are they’d ask for a Transcend burial—one where they return to the Earth, close to home and their favorite humans.
More than 70% of pets are discarded at the vet’s office after being put down. Tree Burial allows for a more meaningful, eco-friendly way to do right by them while bringing new life to their memory.
Scientists have proven that one of the best ways to offset the most harmful effects of climate change is to plant trees. They estimate that planting 1.2 trillion trees could create life-changing impact for the collective. That’s why for every Transcend pet burial, 25 trees are planted globally via our non-profit reforestation partner, the Arbor Day Foundation.
