When a loved one dies, there are many ways to celebrate their life, from gathering with loved ones at a visitation to sending flowers to releasing doves into the air. Planting a memorial tree is a long-lasting way to pay tribute to a loved one. It’s a gift that family and friends can visit for years to come. A memorial tree supports forests while helping to restore our natural habitats. Our Wright & Ford Family Funeral Home and Cremation Services care team encourages families to craft a memorial that fits their needs and budget. We are always willing to share more information on a planted final tribute.  

Memorial Trees

A memorial tree makes a meaningful gift for someone grieving the loss of a loved one. It’s also a beautiful way to honor a friend or family member who has died. A memorial tree signifies a larger cause—the sustainability of the natural world that surrounds us. When you give a memorial tree to a friend or family member, you’ll support reforestation efforts in communities across the nation.

A Tree to Remember™

A Tree to Remember™ has planted more than one million trees and memorialized over 100,000 individuals. A memorial tree donation is a unique way to pay tribute to a loved one while also supporting the environment. These memorial trees are planted in areas of the most need in regions across the country. When you give a Tree to Remember™, the recipient gets a special certificate featuring a heartfelt message and their loved one’s name.

A Lasting Legacy When a loved one dies, the family often receives bouquets of sympathy flowers and keepsake items. However, flowers eventually must be thrown out, and small trinkets tend to go missing. A memorial tree is a wonderful option for those wishing to give a gift that lasts. A tree serves as a beautiful marker of time. Once it’s planted, generations to come can visit the memorial tree to pay their respects and remember their loved one.
