You know the place.
That one they brought up over and over.
The trail with the view. The lake with the cabin. The little town with the best coffee and the wildflowers that stretched all the way to the treeline.
They didn’t just like it—they talked about it like it held a piece of them.
And maybe it did.
Maybe it’s where they felt most like themselves.
Maybe they only went once, or maybe every summer for twenty years.
Maybe they said, “If anything ever happens to me, take me there,” with a half-smile—half-joke, half-truth.
And now you're remembering that place, and thinking… maybe it wasn’t a joke after all.
The places we love are part of who we are.
At Forever Places, we believe that those places—the ones they never stopped talking about—are exactly where they deserve to rest.
And even if you can’t get there yourself, we can go on your behalf.
Quietly. Carefully. Respectfully.
Exactly the way they would’ve wanted.
How it works
You choose the place.
We’ve hand-picked a collection of natural locations across Canada: from coastlines and mountain ledges to meadows, riversides, and quiet ridgelines. But if there’s a specific spot that mattered to them, reach out—we may be able to go there too.
Once you’ve selected your location, you’ll receive a prepaid, pre-addressed shipping kit from us in the mail. It meets Canada Post’s guidelines for mailing ashes and includes everything you need—secure packaging, simple instructions, and a gentle moment of pause.
You send them to us.
And then we take care of the rest.
We scout the location, choose the right day (weather, season, and accessibility all play a part), and bring your loved one there.
When the time is right, we scatter the ashes with care and reverence—no audience, no ceremony. Just a quiet, honest return to the land they loved.
Afterwards, we send you a digital photo of the site, GPS coordinates, and—if you’d like—a small keepsake from the location, like a vial of soil or a bit of water.
Some stories don’t need a crowd.
Some people live quietly, but deeply.
They aren’t interested in formality, or funerals, or the idea of being “laid to rest” in a place they never felt at home.
They want to go back to their place.
That one view they couldn’t stop talking about.
That trail they always planned to hike again.
That beach they called paradise.
We help make that happen.
It’s not just scattering ashes. It’s returning them.
To the still water they always swam in.
To the cliff they stopped to admire every time.
To the forest that felt like theirs.
We know how much that matters.
And we carry that weight with care—so you don’t have to.
Whether you’re nearby or across the country, we make it possible to honor them in a place that meant something.
And even though you may not be there in person, you’ll know exactly where they are.
And more importantly—you’ll know they’re home.
