Acquiring a concession

Our concessions enable families to honor their deceased through rooting: a method that allows them to contribute to the well-being of future generations.

Ecological cremation service

Minimize the carbon footprint of cremation

Traditional cremation emits as much CO₂ as an 800 to 1000 km car journey. We offer a more ecological and affordable cremation.

Enforce your last wishes

Celebrate the life of your loved ones

This logical end-of-life solution not only offers a new way of conceptualizing the union between life and death, but also creates a sense of belonging to the place where each of us will, sooner or later, put down roots.

This unique site of over 2,500,000 sq. ft. offers the opportunity to contribute to the creation of new forest areas for the benefit of future generations.
