Aspiring Ashes

"Aspiring ashes was a new company when we lost our father-in-law. I believe we were the very first customers. Thanks to them, my husband received one last time fishing with his father. It was an experience that we will hold in our hearts forever. Thank you, Cassandra, for giving us this wonderful memory"

"I used the easy instructions and soil compound to mix with just Al 8 oz of my moms ashes. I planted a beautiful weeping cherry tree. The owner of the business was kind and helpful in explaining the process and was also very sweet in listening to my story of my loss. This is a wonderful company and great way to remember your loved one!"

"I cannot thank Cas and the supporting staff at Flying Dutchman/Aspiring Ashes for all the help provided to prepare my mom's ashes. My mom loved flowers, especially roses and our yard was a perfect place to return mom to the ground to the flowers she loved so much. I had never prepared ashes, and Aspiring Ashes provided so much support, (Remember that the ashes are measured in volume, not weight)! You will notice the pink rose bush in the front of the house - that rose is called Queen Elizabeth 2. Queen Elizabeth was born in 1926 and passed at the age of 96, just like mom. That rose bush was one of mom's favorites, and I have never seen so many blooms on this bush during the summer. I heartily recommend all the products of Aspiring Ashes."

"I came across Aspiring Ashes while looking for a way to incorporate my dog and mom's ashes back into the earth. I got 4 share packs even though they're all for me. Everything was packaged beautifully and it's very clear the owner cares about this product and the customers it's going to. Instructions were clear and thorough when you're already doing something a little traumatizing it's nice to have concise directions. We used a 5 gallon bucket to mix the 3gal of soil needed for one pack (~30lbs appx) which made it super easy. This mix also gave us the opportunity to dig our hands in the amended soil and scoop it in ourselves, which we never would have done with ashes alone. We planted a butterfly bush with this soil mix and I took a risk and cut it back hard right away to clean up spent blooms. A few days later not only were there new leaves but new flower buds were forming as well. If you're in the market for a product like this I'm sorry. But this was a great experience start to finish and I feel a lot of peace putting the ones I love to rest this way. Definitely would recommend 100000% "

"Aspiring Ashes provided me with very responsive, kind, and helpful customer service. And, their cremation ash soil mix products offer a wonderful option for handling the cremains of a loved one. For me, their soil mix made it possible to incorporate my husband's cremains in a special tree and flower garden at the home where we built our life together. It will be a special spot where I can reminisce as I tend the new garden. I received my Share-packs so quickly, and they were packed with care. The quality of the soil mix was excellent...rich and perfectly moist. Thank you Cas!"
