I was introduced to Floramorial by my friend Bob Jenkins. This company convert’s cremated ash into a planting material. The process is simple for the consumer. I was mailed an addressed postage paid container to send Anak’s ash to the Floramorial processing location. A couple of weeks passed and Anak was returned to us as potting soil!
Jennifer and I searched for the appropriate tree to plant and finally decided on a Katsura Tree. This Japanese ornamental tree was perfect for a couple of reasons. First, Anak loved to chase cats. Secondly, the leaves are heart shaped, similar to an aspen tree, representing her love for Colorado.
Quinlan and I spent the afternoon digging the hole. What a wonderful time he had using an adult sized shovel to place one or two clumps of dirt into the wheelbarrow! It was a great bonding experience that I know Anak would have enjoyed.
I look at the tree on a daily basis and smile as it now represents something much more than just a beautiful tree. It represents the memory of our beloved pet. Time makes memories fade. But now I will always clearly remember Anak and her life.
