Organic September
Our product is also 100% organic as it doesn’t contain any non-natural or chemical additions. It is created and produced entirely from organic matter in the UK.

Working to support those experiencing grief, Living Memorial would like to take this opportunity to encourage wider discussions about death and dying. As a culture, we often shy away from this topic, as it can be undoubtedly difficult.
Let Your Love Grow
We look forward to working alongside Bob and Annette for many more years to come, creating new products and encouraging a passion for our planet.
