Secure Your Tree Burial in Half Moon Bay, CA

Located just outside San Francisco, perched on the coastal cliffs of Half Moon Bay, a new kind of sacred ground is taking root. Nestled between sweeping views of the Pacific and rolling hills of old-growth redwoods, Transcend’s inaugural Tree Burial grove offers a profoundly peaceful setting for honoring your life and returning to nature. This is more than a final resting place — it’s an invitation to become part of California’s wild beauty forever.

By pre-arranging now, you reserve your place among the first trees in this coastal sanctuary, help fund local conservation and reforestation efforts, and take an empowering step toward intentional, sustainable legacy planning.

Plant the Body

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.

Facilitate the Connection

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.
