Why Water Cremation with Be a Tree Cremation?
-
Lower Your Environmental Impact
Water cremation uses 90% less energy compared to fire cremation. Let’s exit the world in the greenest way possible.
-
Live On Through Nature
The water from your cremation is used to nourish Colorado lands and your ashes can be scattered or planted with a memorial tree.
-
Compassion for Your Family
“I cannot adequately express how these wonderful women supported me and made this painful process easier with their love.” -Diana L
We all have different reasons for choosing to plan ahead…
You’ve experienced the loss of a loved one and found the experience of making all the decisions in the midst of grief to be overwhelming.
You don’t have children, a spouse, or other close family members to carry out your final wishes when the time comes.
You have specific wishes and their legal next-of-kin may not be equipped or willing to carry them out. (e.g., honoring your true identity, resting place, or other details.)
You’d like to lock in today’s pricing and protect against inflation.

FOUNDER & CEO
I created Be a Tree Cremation because the options available weren’t good for the environment & not personal for families. I look forward to sharing my passion & life’s work with you.

Sherèe Browne (she/her)
DIRECTOR OF PRE-PLANNING & COMMUNITY OUTREACH
I’m here to co-create an end-of-life plan that will leave you feeling empowered to live your life to the fullest. Let’s tackle the difficult topic together and become friends for life.

Summer Downs (she/they)
CEREMONY & ARRANGEMENT SPECIALIST
My greatest desire is that every departed loved one is treated with the utmost dignity, and that you are filled with the peaceful knowledge that your loved one is being cared for in a personalized, intimate way.
Take it from those who have taken this journey before you. This is an experience that you will feel empowered to take off your mental to-do list.
This important task is not easy to move forward with, but we are here to guide you.
