The gift of a memorial tree for loved ones will carry on giving for years to come. It is a warm and moving way of keeping a lost loved one's memory alive and creates a tranquil place to visit and treasure the happy memories shared.
A memorial tree planting is a wonderful way for someone to create a place of remembrance for a loved one. A way of being at one with nature and perhaps even a special spot to scatter the loved ones ashes too, so that they can always be together. You can add a plaque for remembrance, a stone, or even a special bench. I'll add some links to those below.
Please note that this post contains links to products for which we may receive a small commission. This enables us to keep bringing you content and articles which support those coping with grief.
Below we have trees that you can send and can be planted in the grievers own garden. Alternatively, you can have a tree planted in memory of a loved one, in State Parks or National Forests in anyone of 50 states in the USA and Canada. Know that your gift or memorial will benefit generations to come by making the planet a safer, greener place.
We have partnered with Treegivers who carry out this wonderful service and provide personalised certificates for each tree to honour your departed loved one.
