                    About

                    As its name suggests, the River Birch naturally grows along river banks. But as a landscape tree, it can be planted almost anywhere in the U.S. The River Birch has become a favorite and popular landscape tree because of its distinctive peeling, cinnamon-colored bark, and graceful crown. This beautiful species displays wondrous spreading limbs and year-round color standing out in the Fall and Winter. The species is also valued for its relatively rapid growth, tolerance of wetness and drought, and resistance to birch borer and deer. In 2002, one of its cultivars was even named the Urban Tree of the Year by the Society of Municipal Arborists.

                    Wildlife

                    Its small but plentiful seeds are appreciated by a wide range of songbirds. The catkins of the River Birch are used by redpolls and pine siskins. The foliage is eaten by deer and other browsers.

                    Family Program & Pre-Need

                    Family Program & Pre-Need

                    The Family Program is designed for families that are splitting up remains or sharing remains among family to use remains for different purposes (scattering, Living Urn, keeping some in a traditional urn, etc.).

                    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).
