The minds and hearts
behind EVERTREE®
Our goal is nothing less than a revolution in the funeral industry, to give death a tangible and communicable individual and social meaning, and thus to open up the possibility for each and every one of us to make an important contribution to saving our planet.
There is a growing need among many people for new, individual, dignified and affordable forms of burial for themselves and their loved ones. However, burying people's ashes on private land in Germany is still virtually impossible from a legal point of view. Although there are exceptions in many federal states, these are hardly ever applied because the procedure is too complex and the current legal situation is too established.
The grief for a beloved pet can be just as great as that for a person. From them can grow a living memory that gives comfort and strength to their owners.
EVERTREE creates living memories for people and animals.

"With EVERTREE®, I want to take on the responsibility and challenge of leaving a better and more livable world for my son and all generations that follow after us.
Creating living memories, giving people comfort and taking away the finality of passing away is what drives me every day to invest my time and heart and soul in EVERTREE®.
Edwin Otten
"EVERTREE is a very great way to give a new and ecological footprint to the human being, who has left his footprint on the earth his whole life, after his passing. In this way, man can give something back to nature, thus closing the circle of life.
As a master funeral director and part of EVERTREE®, I have developed the new human urn with all my expertise and full commitment to ensure that deceased persons can be buried in cemeteries in the future.
Together with my partners, I want to realize the vision of turning cemeteries into forests."
Melissa Hohnke
"To give others a bright light, hope and new strength in their darkest hour... This is what EVERTREE does, what I am always grateful for and what I will carry on with a lot of heart - for a beautiful and green world.
Every tree seed that blossoms, every new leaf, every small and big branch means new life that grows up to the canopy full of memories. What better way to preserve them!"

Gerrit and Corinna Werkman spread EVERTREE in the Netherlands with a lot of heart and commitment. There, people deal with the topic of death and mourning in a completely different way. In the Netherlands, our EVERTREE urn may also be buried in your own garden.
